I.
A penas sai don m’apreing                                  
so q’en chantan m’auzetz dir;                              
cum pieitz trac e plus m’azir                              
mieills e mon chan esdeveing:                               
gardatz, qand er qi·m n’enseing,                           
s’i sabrai esdevenir                                       
ni ma bona dompna·m deing;                                  
que ies de saber no·m feing,                               
ni nuills hom no·i pot faillir                             
que de lieis aia soveing.                                   

II. 
Lo plus necis hom del reing                                
que lieis veia ni remir,                                   
deuri’ esser al partir                                      
savis e de bel capteing;                                    
e doncs ieu que l’am ses geing,                            
so sai be, m’en dei jauzir                                 
pois tant grans valors la seing                           
que nuill autr’amor non deing,                             
ni ses lieis non puosc garir                               
de la dolor que·m destreing.                               

III. 
Anc a nuill fin amador                                     
non cuig mais esdevengues,                                 
que de dompnas no·m ven bes,                               
ni blasmar no·m puosc de lor;                              
una·m tol lo joi d’aillor                                  
e del sieu no·m dona ies,                                  
ni d’autra no m’a sabor;                                   
pero per la so’amor                                        
sui plus gais e plus cortes,                               
e·n port a totas honor.                                    

IV. 
Ben sai que per sa ricor                                   
mi tol so c’anc no·m promes,                               
et ieu non sui tant apres                                  
qe miei prec m’aiont valor;                                
mas aisso fraing ma dolor,                                 
que lai si para merces                                     
on faillon tuich valedor,                                  
mas ill a tant de lauzor                                   
que ben l’er grazitz e pres                                
lo mals en luoc de doussor.                                

V. 
Tuich cist trobador egal,                                  
segon qu’ill ant de saber,                                 
lauzon dompnas a plazer,                                   
e non gardon cui ni cal;                                   
e qui trop plus que non val                                
lauza sidons, fai parer                                    
qu’escarn ditz e non ren al;                               
mas ieu n’ai chausida tal                                 
c’om no·n pot ren dir mas ver,                             
si doncs no·n dizia mal.                                   

VI. 
Dompna, ben cortes jornal                                  
fai lo jorn qi·us vai vezer,
