| Lyrics | Poetic Translation | |
|---|---|---|
| Pour souhaitter ie ne demande mieulx | In all my life I wish for nothing more | |
| qu'avoir santé et vivre longuement | Than for good health, long life, and joy's increase, | |
| tousiours ioieulx et des biens largement | To live in cheer, with wealth enough for peace, | |
| et en la fin le royaulme des cieulx | And in the end to enter Heaven's door. | |
| Josquin des Prez | Carol Anne Perry Lagemann |
