Title
Larras tu cela, Michault
Text
Submitted by wkn
Source language: French

Larras tu cela, Michault
Larras tu, maulvais garson
Aveque luy Marion
En jouant de sa musete
La blessa de son bordon;
La fillette estoit jeunette
Elle s'ecria bien hault.
Remarks about the translation
This is ancient French, from a renaissance song. I haven't been able to find a translation on the Net. British English preferred.

Title
Will you plough this, Michault
Translation
English

Translated by wkn
Target language: English

Will you plough this, Michault
Will you plough, bad boy
I found Michault on the grass,
With him Marion
While playing his bagpipe
He hurt her with his drone
The girl was young,
She yelled loudly.
Remarks about the translation
I believe this translation is agreed upon, so I enter it myself. It has also been approved by a specialist in renaissance music, Egidius Kwartet.

I added translation of the line from the song that I forgot to write in the request:
Trouvay Michault sur l'erbette,
which translates into
I found Michault on the grass

Hi Werner,

I think a poll would be useless for this translation. Since you have made all that research, I guess we can trust its accuracy.

What do you think Francky?
