Dis tans plus by Jehan de Lescurel — Lyrics
R.: Dis tans plus qu'il ne faudroit flours
A faire un mont jusques es ciex,
Mant à vous salus et douçours,
Et veil d 'amer moi vous doint Diex.
Jeune, belle et gracieuse,
En vous ai tout mon cuer mis;
Honeur et joie amoureuse.
Aiez frans cuer, dous toudis.
Ne senz grietés, mes granz douçours,
Dès que vous remir de mes iex;
En moi croit tout ainsi amours
Loiaus, puis par vous ai biens tiex.
Dis tans plus
En fais et diz savoureuse,
Sage dame au cors faitiz,
Car soiez douce et piteuse

About Dis tans plus
Jehan de Lescurel was a composer of the early 15th century. His secular virelai Dis tans plus is presented here for solo voice in its original French. The text expresses a lover's devotion and hope for reciprocation from his fair lady, who he sees as possessing all grace and beauty. He pledges his loyalty and courteous service, asking for her kindness in return. The song captures the courtly ideals of love and service prevalent in the late medieval period, with the solo voice line conveying the intimate plea of the admirer.
