| NOM PERDI EU, MEU AMIGO ... | MY HEART HAS NEVER LOST ... |

Nom perdi eu, meu amigo, des que me de vos parti, do meu coraçom gran coita nem gram pesar; mais perdi quanto tempo, meu amigo, vos nom vivestes comigo. Nem perderan os olhos meus chorar nunca, nem em mal des que vos vós d'aqui fostes, mais vedes que perdi al quanto tempo, meu amigo, vos nom vivestes comigo. |
My heart has never lost, my friend, since parting company with you the great distress and greater grief, within my heart; but I have lost it all for all this time, in which you haven't lived with me, my friend. Nor have my eyes at any time left off their weeping and their paid since you betook yourself from here, but you must see that I have lost it all for all this time in which you haven't lived with me, my friend. |
