Handsome knight, you who leave for war

Handsome knight, you who leave for war

What will you do

far from here?

Do you see that the night is deep?

And that the world

is but worry?

You who think that love

Abandoned by thought

flees like that.

Alas! Alas! Seekers of fame

Your smoke

flies away too!

Hansome knight, you who leave for war

What will you do

far from us?

It will make me cry. I who thought

That my smile

was so sweet!
