Pavane [Belle qui tiens ma vie] [English translation]

Beauty, that holds my life

Captive inside your eyes

I'm ravished all the while

By all your gracious smiles

I beg you to come by,

Save me or I will die

I beg you to come by,

Save me or I will die

Your charms and saintly grace,

Divine words, pretty face

They made me so obsessed

And utterly repressed.

This great love filled my heart

I can’t live with us apart

This great love filled my heart

I can’t live with us apart

For martyr burning pain -

No compassion yet again

Beauty, for you I yearn,

But get nothing in return,

Love, suffer hence I cry.

Oh, God, I better die!

Love, suffer hence I cry.

Oh, God, I better die!
