Text:
Resvelons nous, resvelons, amoureux
Alons au bois tantost cueillir le may
Et chanterons chascun un virelay,
Pour sa dame, s'en serons plus joyeux.
Alons ent bien tos au may.

English translation:
Let us awake, let us arise, lovers.
Let's go now to the woods to pluck the mayflower,
And we'll sing a virelai for our ladies,
We'll be the more joyful for it
Let us all go to the May!
