Nightingale of Platres*

(1) If I am ill I heal I don’t want a doctor
When I hear thy voice nightingale of Plátres.
(2) In my love that to thee I have I make a holy oath
When I say that I don’t want thee the life not to enjoy
 
(3) I love thee, thou loves me, don’t do bad things
and wherever I walk thou lifts and thou kisses the dirt/earth
(4) My heart is burned for thy black eyes
& come to make a match & let go of thy pig-headedness
 
(5) Like the sea which drinks the water of the rivers
So also my heart drinks thy own longings.
 

Blue-eyed Lass

Dark faced, lovely and she cried on the street

And I asked her to tell me of her complaints

Which I made with my hardship and my sweat
4) I go to the courts for them to give me it back
But it stood impossible for me to win it back
 
5) Because they support them the big lawyers
Who make the lies into truth with force.
