Que sont mes amis devenus ?

Recommended Posts

This is a verse from a 13th century French poem, it says what has become of my friends, I think the wind outside my door carried them away.

Back to 2020. Many posters who were active on this forum few weeks ago have made themselves scarce these days, I suppose that they were carried away by the alpha wind 🤣

Que sont mes amis devenus
Que j'avais de si près tenus
Et tant aimés
Ils ont été trop clairsemés
Je crois le vent les a ôtés
L'amour est morte
Ce sont amis que vent me porte
Et il ventait devant ma porte
Les emporta

Avec le temps qu'arbre défeuille
Quand il ne reste en branche feuille
Qui n'aille à terre
Avec pauvreté qui m'atterre
Qui de partout me fait la guerre
Au temps d'hiver
Ne convient pas que vous raconte
Comment je me suis mis à honte
En quelle manière

Que sont mes amis devenus
Que j'avais de si près tenus
Et tant aimés
Ils ont été trop clairsemés
Je crois le vent les a ôtés
L'amour est morte
Le mal ne sait pas seul venir
Tout ce qui m'était à venir
M'est advenu

Pauvre sens et pauvre mémoire
M'a Dieu donné, le roi de gloire
Et pauvre rente
Et droit au cul quand bise vente
Le vent me vient, le vent m'évente
L'amour est morte
Ce sont amis que vent emporte
Et il ventait devant ma porte
Les emporta

 I love to see that my little poetic joke about the disappearing  alpha testers  was appreciated. Poetry at Avsim ? Why not 😋 ? In French 😱 ?  

The poem is a modern shorter adaptation with a medieval flavor in the phrasing, of a longer poem written in a French which is barely understandable by a modern French. As much as Middle English is in the English speaking world.

It is well known in France, a lovely song has even been made out of it 65 years ago.

Une autre chanson a été écrite plus récemment, sur le même thème si j'ose dire, par "Noir Désir" ; le vent l'emportera.

C'est du français actuel, mais encore plus abscons. 😉
