My Heart, Stop Up Your Ears

Poem by Charles D'Orléans Collection SongsPeriod 15th century

My heart, stop up your ears,
Against the wind of Melancholy;
If it enters, do not doubt it,
It is marvelously dangerous;

Whether you sleep or wake,
Do as I say, I beg you.
My heart, stop up your ears,
Against the wind of Melancholy;

It causes unparalleled sorrows,
From which is born the sickness
That is not easily cured;
Believe me, if you heed reason.
My heart, stop up your ears.

Charles D’Orléans
