Belle qui m'avez blessé by Pierre Guédron — Lyrics
1. Belle qui m'avez blessé d'un trait si doux,
Hélas! pourquoy me laissez vous?
Moy qui languis d'un cruel désespoir
Quand je suis sans vous voir.
2. Las! vous emportés en ce triste départ
De mon coeur la meillieure part,
Et vous laissez l'autre en proye aux douleurs,
Aux soupirs et aux pleurs.
3. Ou me rendés l'une, ou belle par pitié
Ne laissés pas l'autre moytié;
Ou bien donnés d'un pitoyable effort
A toutes deux la mort.

About Belle qui m'avez blessé
Pierre Guédron's Belle qui m'avez blessé is a secular French solo voice and lute song from the Renaissance. The text expresses the laments of a lover abandoned by his beloved. He describes his despair and the pain of separation, pleading for her to return his heart or grant both halves death. The poem uses natural imagery, with the heavens darkening and the sun fleeing, to reflect the singer's deep sorrow and the desolation of his surroundings after her departure. This intimate song offers a poignant exploration of unrequited love and the profound grief of being left alone.
