A lonely bard wandering across the lands am I
Singing dancing finding answers to every why
The taverns are full and one crosses my path
Too
I just might reward myself with a beer or two

This inn the place of many romantic tales
On the loft women offer their sales
But my eyes they catch a
Girl beat by everyone
A slave she is but for me a rose undone

Hear me sing watch me dance
Play that lute of thine
And share with me this dance
As she danced my eyes began to shine
There she was the maiden so divine
How could I approach her with
My outlook so poor
Her beauty being much more
Than I could endure

So I asked if I could sing a chanson
With a language of ancient and of lore
Gathered the men around us me
And the girl in rags
Soon were the melodies heard by everyone

Hear us sing watch us dance
Sing with us this tale with a clap of hands

The stories long-forgotten we still know
Performing our skills wherever we go
I end my story as I receive a kiss
From my girl the dearest Beatrice

Hear us sing watch us dance
Sing with us the tales
Which the music will keep alive
