Tuit cil que.m preyon qu’eu chan,
volgra saubesson lo ver,
s’eu n’ai aize ni lezer.
Chantes qui chantar volria,
qu’eu non saup ni chan ni via,
pois perdei ma benanansa
per ma mala destinansa.
(All those who ask me to sing should know the truth about whether I have the time or the inclination. Let he who wants to sing, sing, for I know neither song nor style, since I have lost my joy through my cursed destiny.)
Bernard de Ventadorn
Bernard de Ventadorn (12th century) was a French troubadour poet who is considered one of the greatest lyric poets of the medieval period. His works, which often expressed courtly love, were widely influential and inspired many other troubadours.
