- "Douce Dame Jolie" - composed by French composer and poet Guillaume de Machaut. He was a central figure of the ars nova style in late medieval music.
Machaut embodies the culmination of the poet-composer tradition stretching back to the traditions of troubadour and trouvère.
In "Douce Dame Jolie", the lyrical subject praises the beauty of the young lady, assuring her of his undying love.
We are happy to introduce you to our version of that story.

Full text in orginal French:
Douce dame jolie,
Pour dieu ne pensés mie
Que nulle ait signorie
Seur moy fors vous seulement.
Qu'adès sans tricherie
Chierie
Vous ay et humblement
Tous les jours de ma vie
Servie
Sans villain pensement.
Helas! et je mendie
D'esperance et d'aïe;
Dont ma joie est fenie,
Se pité ne vous en prent.
Douce dame jolie...
Mais vo douce maistrie
Maistrie
Mon cuer si durement
Qu'elle le contralie
Et lie
En amour tellement
Qu'il n'a de riens envie
Fors d'estre en vo baillie;
Et se ne li ottrie
Vos cuers nul aligement.
Douce dame jolie...
Et quant ma maladie
Garie
Ne sera nullement
Sans vous, douce anemie,
Qui lie
Estes de mon tourment,
A jointes mains deprie
Vo cuer, puis qu'il m'oublie,
Que temprement m'ocie,
Car trop langui longuement.
Douce dame jolie...
English translation (modernised):
Sweet, lovely lady
for God's sake do not think
that any has sovereignty
over my heart, but you alone.
For always, without treachery
Cherished
Have I you, and humbly
All the days of my life
Served
Without base thoughts.
Alas, I am left begging
For hope and relief;
For my joy is at its end
Without your compassion.
Sweet, lovely lady....
But your sweet mastery
Masters
My heart so harshly,
Tormenting it
And binding
In unbearable love,
So that [my heart] desires nothing
but to be in your power.
And still, your own heart
renders it no relief.
Sweet, lovely lady....
And since my malady
Healed
Will never be
Without you, Sweet Enemy,
Who takes
Delight in my torment
With clasped hands I beseech
Your heart, that forgets me,
That it mercifully kill me
For too long have I languished.
Sweet, lovely lady....

You deserve praise for two major things: turning a 14th century song into a videoclip that tells a story that Binchois himself would approve. Second and foremost, you used extremely accurate clothings, setting, furniture... and even the situations (dancing, gestures, etc). This is as educational as should be: history on the move, who makes people think about what are those "strange things" they're seeing and listening too... and making them prone to search about it. That's the way historical music is meant to be played. Bravo!
looks like period accurate instruments as well.
We try to keep our look and music historically consistent. We are very pleased that you appreciate our work.🥹 Take care!
I was looking at the hair coverage. Soo many period pieces want to have a lady's hair showing or even down. Then you capped the men as well. Bravo.
@@andyoli75 Thank you! 😊
Left handed lutist, though. He would probably have been burned at the stake as a Devil’s Apostle. Sometimes the good, ol’ days were not so good for everybody!
As a french reenactor, it's a pleasure to see such a good interpretation of Guillaume de Machaut ! You honor our culture and our medieval legacy.
The clothes! I'm so happy this was suggested to me. I knew it was going to be good when I saw that herringbone wool pattern in the close up at the start.
I also love how there's humor integrated into the plot. Just because it's medieval it doesn't mean it must be dour and grim!
As a historical re-enactor from a late 14th century early 15th century group that values accuracy above all else I absolutely love this !
Awww thank you! We are very glad ❤️😊
Quel doux voyage dans le joli temps des troubadours et trouvères !
Comme vous l'avez si bien dit : un doux voyage... 😌
Thank you so much! 🥹
I cannot get over how perfect this is. It captures the spirit of the troubadour and the medieval narrative style so perfectly. This video and performance are art.
Я благодарна рекомендациям за то, что мне попалось это видео, это отличная работа, будто я попала в настоящее средневековье!♥🇷🇺
Beautiful across the board: the music, the videography, the costumes... It leaves me wishing for more! Imagine if Hollywood, Netflix, etc. cared about achieving this level of historical accuracy. Bravo & grand merci!
Thank you so much, we are soooo glad! ❤️
OH J'LA CONNAIS ELLE EST SUPER POPULAIRE CELLE-LÀ
大気を震わせる、森の鼓動のような曲ですね。 美しい。
Très joliment écrit ! Internet assurément regroupe aussi des humains du monde entier autour du beau.
This is like Medieval MTV. This is awesome! Keep up the wonderful work you guys are doing. I pray you can do more medieval music videos like this. Any possibility of making a Medieval Christmas video?
Great idea!! 🌲 Thank you so much! ❤️
Un clignement de paupière en vous decouvrant a suffit pour me transporter coeur, corps et âme dans l'époque de ce cette chanson. Magnifique, bravo !
When the listener is ready the song appears. I am bloody ready now.
I'm french medieval music lover and I discover your channel with a lot of joy !! Thank u for your amazing work !!
i just can’t do nothing else than thank you from all my Heart as my country is falling apart in every single aspect of its original identity : France... 😢
Great music, great video, and fantasic voice!
Thank you!!
You can literally feel the atmosphere of the Middle Ages 👏🙌
Thank you so much Oskar! ❤️
Authentic music! Historic video!❗
I would like this video to be a time portal.
❤️
This is one of the most beautiful music videos I have ever seen. Its simple innocence in telling a story from the medieval period just can't be said enough.
Thank you! 🥹 So happy that you like it!
You have a fantastic sound. It's great that you're keeping Mediaeval music alive!

Журчит, как ручеёк! Чарующие звуки прекрасной музыки! Очаровательный голос исполнительницы!
Это великолепно! Костюмы, музыка, исполнение на высоком уровне. И, главное, аутентичность. Благодаря клипу можно понять содержание песни. Спасибо!
I have never seen or heard anything more beautiful..!
Cette musique est magnifique
Just discovering you right now, it's incredible. Thanks.
C'est Magnifique!
My fav video of yours has vanished! There was something that popped up on that video about "UA-cam Kids" and I could no longer save it to my play list. Strange.
That was two or three days ago. Now that video has completely vanished from UA-cam. It's the video that shows all of you recording the song in studio in normal attire, as well as well as in Medieval attire for the video performance. Hands down my new fav song!! But it's gone?!
This is the best version on UA-cam. Thank you!
Thank you so much!!
rarely seen such well performed music combined with such a exciting and well made visual story with so much humor and authenticity at the same time. It was a joy to watch and listen.
une merveille musicale on en veut plus s'il vous plait
A very famous musician, singer and composer in Brazil (Renato Russo), created the modern version of this song using only the instrumental in reference to medieval times. The song is called "A Ordem dos Templários" by the band "Legião Urbana" of which he was a member.
I like both the modern version and the original!
Gratulacje dla zespołu za piękną pieśń i piękny videoklip

@@themedievals And if she won't cast a spell to kill me like in the video, send my nod to the charming singer too. 🙂
Loved this! ❤
Super! 😍
At first I was like "what the heck are they singing, I don't understand a thing" (I'm French), then I opened the lyrics and read them as I listened to your song, and it was actually pretty good! Well done!! Thank you for this great song, great costumes ❤🙏
Красиво поёт
elegancko Paweł- tak trzymać ;)
Paweł to jest gość elegancki
Ale klimat, ale magia ✨😍
Dziękujemy bardzo! 🥰
That was an amazing rendition with beautiful voice, instruments and poem by de Machaut as lyrics. I especially like that you have decided to wear historically accurate clothes and made a narratively interesting clip. Subscribed and am certainly waiting for more songs like this!

Amazing! One of the best renditions of Douce Dame Jolie out there, I love the jolly and mirthful tune here despite the spooky video! Also, the costumes are lovely all too, I love chaperone hats as well as the bliauts and veils of the women.
