A synthesized instrumental version of the Machaut rondeau. Original lyrics are admittedly tangential to an oubliette, but the opening was sufficient to choose it for a point of departure. Aside from this instrumental version, the musical material is referenced in other pieces in the collection.
Puis qu’en oubli sui de vous, dous amis,
Vie amoureuse et joie à Dieu commant.
Mar vi le jour que m’amour en vous mis,
Puis qu’en oubli sui de vous, dous amis.
Mais ce tenray que je vous ay promis,
C’est que ja mais n’aray nul autre amant.
Puis qu’en oubli sui de vous, dous amis,
Vie amoureuse et joie à Dieu commant.
Translation:
Since you forgot me, my sweet friend,
I leave to God my love life and joy.
Unfortunate the day I put my love in you,
Since you forgot me, my sweet friend.
Yet this I will hold, which I promised you:
That I will never have any other lover.
