Fuyons tous d'amour le jeu

Our translations: ENG

Fuyons tous d'amour le jeu
Comme le feu,
Ayme qui voudra les femmes,
Serve qui voudra les dames,
Quand à moy, je n'en ay cure
N'y les procure.
Jamais on n'y gaigne rien,
Je le voy bien.
Fuyons  tous d'amour le jeu
Comme le feu.

Let us all fly the game of love

Language: English after the French (Français)

Let us all fly the game of love
Like a fire
Let him who wants love women,
Him who wants serve the ladies,
As for me, I'm not bothered with them
Nor do I seek them.
You never win anything that way,
I see that well.
Let us all fly the game of love
Like a fire
