King Diniz of Portugal	trans. James H. Donalson (from Portuguese)
Non chegou, madr', o meu amigo e oj' est' o prazo saido, Ai madre, moiro d'amor! Non chegou, madr', o meu amado e oj' est' o prazo passado, Ai madre, moiro d'amor! E oj' est' o prazo saido por que mentio o desmentido, Ai madre, moiro d'amor'. E oj' est' o prazo passado por que mentio o perjurado, Ai madre, moirc d'amor! Por que mentio o desmentido, pesa-mi pois se per si é falido, Ai madre, moiro d'amor! Por que mentio o perjurado, pesa-mi pois mentio a seu grado, Ai madre, moiro d'amor!	My friend, mother, isn't arriving and today the time is elapsing, and I am dying of love. My love, mother, isn't arriving and today his leave is expiring, and I am dying of love. Now, today his time is elapsing oh why did he lie, the deceiver? and I am dying of love. Now today his leave is expiring oh why did he lie, the betrayer? and I am dying of love. Oh why did he lie, the deceiver? I'm sorry to find such a failing, and I am dying of love. Oh why did he lie, the betrayer? I'm sorry he doesn't mind lying, and I am dying of love.
