For I think that it's just as much good sense, if one can keep to the point, as to twist my words round each other.

— Giraut de Bornelh

Qu'eu cut c'atretan grans sens
Es, qui sap razo gardar,
Com los motz entrebeschar.

More quotes by Giraut de Bornelh

I could easily make it more obscure, but a song's merit is not complete when all are not partners in it.

Fair friend, in singing I call you:
Sleep no longer, for I hear the bird sing
Who goes seeking day through the wood
And I fear that the jealous one will attack you,
And soon it will be dawn!

Fair, gentle friend, I’ve found so dear a home
I wish that dawn might never come again;
The loveliest lady ever born of woman
Lies in my arms, and I care not a straw
For jealous fool or dawn!
