La ballade des pendus (original)La ballade des pendus (translation)
Frères humains qui après nous vivez, Human brothers who live after us,
N’ayez les coeurs contre nous endurciz, Do not have your hearts against us harden,
Car, si pitié de nous pouvres avez, For if pity on us may have,
Dieu en aura plus tost de vous merciz. God will sooner thank you.
Vous nous voyez cy attachez cinq, six: You see us attach five, six:
Quant de la chair, que trop avons nourrie, As for the flesh, which we have fed too much,
Elle est pieça devorée et pourrie, She's piece devoured and rotten,
Et nous, les os, devenons cendre et pouldre. And we, the bones, become ashes and powder.
De nostre mal personne ne s’en rie: No one laughs at our misfortune:
Mais priez Dieu que tous nous vueille absouldre! But pray to God that we are all absolved!
Se freres vous clamons, pas n’en devez Brothers you cry out, we don't owe it
Avoir desdain, quoy que fusmes occiz To have disdain, whatever you were occiz
Par justice.By justice.
Toutesfois, vous savez However, you know
Que tous hommes n’ont pas bon sens rassiz; That all men do not have good common sense;
Excusez nous, puis que nous sommes transsis, Excuse us, since we are frozen,
Envers le filz de la Vierge Marie, To the son of the Virgin Mary,
Que sa grace ne soit pour nous tarie, May his grace be dried up for us,
Nous preservant de l’infernale fouldre. Preserving us from the infernal lightning.
Nous sommes mors, ame ne nous harie; We are dead, do not haunt us;
Mais priez Dieu que tous nous vueille absouldre! But pray to God that we are all absolved!
La pluye nous a debuez et lavez, The rain defogged and washed us,
Et le soleil dessechez et noirciz: And the sun withers and blackens:
Pies, corbeaulx nous ont les yeulx cavez Magpies, crows have our eyes covered
Et arraché la barbe et les sourciz. And pulled out the beard and the eyebrows.
Jamais nul temps nous ne sommes assis; Never no time are we seated;
Puis ça, puis la, comme le vent varie, Then that, then there, as the wind changes,
A son plaisir sans cesser nous charie, At his pleasure unceasingly carries us along,
Plus becquetez d’oiseaulx que dez a couldre. More peck birds than food.
Ne soyez donc de nostre confrarie; So do not be of our brotherhood;
Mais priez Dieu que tous nous vueille absouldre. But pray to God that we will all be absolved.
Prince Jhesus, qui sur tous a maistrie, Prince Jhesus, who above all has maistrie,
Garde qu’Enfer n’ait de nous seigneurie Keep Hell from having lordship over us
Garde qu’Enfer n’ait de nous seigneurie: Keep Hell from having lordship over us:
A luy n’ayons que faire ne que souldre. To him, let's have nothing to do but suffer.
Hommes, icy n’a point de mocquerie; Men, here has no mockery;
Mais priez Dieu que tous nous vueille absouldre.But pray to God that we will all be absolved.
