Qu’on ne me parle plus d’amour - French Renaissance Song

Music by Pierre Guédron, vocals, video and arrangement by Farya Faraji. This is a French song from the 16th century, an era which saw the proliferation of polyphony and counterpoint—independent melodic structures interacting simultaneously in contrast to earlier music of the Middle-Ages, which was primarily monophony or hereophonic in nature: one melody only throughout the entire musical structure.

Pierre Guédron was a French singer and composer renowned for his airs de court, (court airs), a genre of secular songs performed in the royal courts and immensely enjoyed by the French kings.

Lyrics in French:

Qu’on ne me parle plus d’amour,
L’inconstance règne à la Cour,
Ô Dieux punissez ces âmes volages,
Ô Dieux punissez ces légers amoureux.

Ces amants pour nous décevoir
Jurent Amour et son pouvoir :
Ô Dieux punissez ces âmes parjures,
Ô Dieux punissez ces légers amoureux.

Ils n’ont de la fidélité
Sinon pour la déloyauté :
Ô Dieux punissez ces cœurs infidèles,
Ô Dieux que n’ont-ils leurs cœurs dans les yeux.

Ils feignent plus de passion
Lorsqu’ils ont moins d’affection :
Ô Dieux punissez ces cœurs infidèles,
Ô Dieux punissez ces légers amoureux.

La foi de ces esprits moqueurs
Fuit par leurs bouches de leurs cœurs :
Ô Dieux punissez ces cœurs infidèles,
Ô Dieux punissez ces légers amoureux.

English translation:
Speak no more of Love to me,
Chaos reigns in Court,
Oh Gods, punish these fickle souls,
Oh Gods, punish these light lovers!

These lovers, to disappoint us,
Swear to Love and it’s power,
Oh Gods, punish these treacherous souls,
Oh Gods, punish these light lovers!

They feign more passion,
When they have less affection,
Oh Gods, punish these disloyal hearts,
Oh Gods, punish these light lovers!

The faith of these mocking spirits,
Flees from their mouths out of their mouths,
Oh Gods, punish these disloyal hearts,
Oh Gods, punish these light lovers!
