“La lauzeta e'l rossinhol Am mais que nulh' autr' auzel, Que pel joy del temps novel Comenson premier lur chan: Et ieu, ad aquel semblan, Quan li autre trobador Estan mut, ieu chant d'amor De ma dona Na Vierna.”

“Ab l'alen tir vas me l'aire Qu'ieu sen venir de Proensa; Tot quant es de lai m'agensa, Si que, quan n'aug ben retraire, Ieu m'o escout en rizen E'n deman per un mot cen, Tan m'es bel quan n'aug ben dire.”

“Crowned with immortal joys I mount The proudest emperors above, For I am honoured with the love Of the fair daughter of a count. A lace from Na Raymbauda's hand I value more than all the land Of Richard, with his Poïctou, His rich Touraine and famed Anjou. When loup-garou the rabble call me, When vagrant shepherds hoot, Pursue, and buffet me to boot, It doth not for a moment gall me; I seek not palaces or halls, Or refuge when the winter falls; Exposed to winds and frosts at night, My soul is ravished with delight. Me claims my she-wolf (Loba) so divine: And justly she that claim prefers, For, by my troth, my life is hers More than another's, more than mine.”
