Go seek her out all courteously
Language:
English
Go seek her out all courteously,
And say I come,
Wind of spices whose song is ever
Epithalamium.
O, hurry over the dark lands
And run upon the sea
For seas and lands shall not divide us
My love and me.
Now, wind, of your good courtesy
I pray you go,
And come into her little garden
And sing at her window;
Singing: The bridal wind is blowing
For Love is at his noon;
And soon will your true love be with you,
Soon, O soon.

Va la chercher très courtoisement
Language:
French
Va la chercher très courtoisement,
Et dis-lui que j'arrive,
Vent d'épices dont le chant est toujours
Épithalame.
Oh, dépêche-toi sur les terres sombres
Et cours sur la mer
Car les mers et les terres ne nous sépareront pas
Mon amour et moi.
Maintenant, vent, par ta courtoisie,
Je t'en prie,
Entre dans son petit jardin
Et chante à sa fenêtre ;
Chante : Le vent nuptial souffle
Car l'amour est à son midi ;
Et bientôt ton amour fidèle sera avec toi,
Bientôt, oh, bientôt.
