Ben deu om chastian dire
Si ia d'Amor
Sol c'Amors me plevis
Ailas, co muer - Qe as, amis?
Mas, com m'ave, Dieus m'aiut
Ar auziretz
S'era non poia mos chans
Amars, onrars e charteners
Ab semblan me fai dechazer
M'amiga·m men'estra lei
Qan lo freitz e·l glatz e la neus
Ar ai gran ioi qant remenbri l'amor
Si·m plagues tant chans
Aquest terminis clars e gens
Gen m'aten
Alegrar mi volgr'en chantan
A ben chantar
Ben coven, pos ia baissa·l ram
Razon e luec
Tostemps mi sol
Nuilla res
Chans em broil
Ans que veina·l nous frugz tendres
Ges de sobrevoler no·m tuoill
Qant la brun'aura s'eslucha
Can creis la fresca fuelh'els rams
La flors el vergan
Era si·m fos en grat tengut
Si·m sentis fizels amics
Tot suavet e de pas
Aital cansoneta plana
A penas sai comensar
Ses valer de pascor
Quar non ai
Si·l cors no·m ministr'a dreig
Non puesc sofrir c'a la dolor
No·m platz chanz de rossignol
Can brancha·l brondels e rama
Qui chantar sol
Ben for'oimais dreigs el temps gen
De chantar
Los apleiz
Ia·m vai revenen
Ges aissi del tot no·m lais
Iois e chans
Be m'era bels chantars

Medieval
Giraut de Bornelh, a 12th century Provençal troubadour, is credited with the formalization, if not the invention, of the "light" style, or trobar leu.
Giraut was born to a lower-class family in the Limousin, near Excideuil in modern-day France. He was connected to the castle of the viscount of Limoges. His life was simple and studious. In winter he frequented the schools of learning and studied literature under the most celebrated teachers of the period. In summer, accompanied by two singers who recited his songs, he visited the courts of his royal patrons including Richard Cour de Lion; Bohemond III, prince of Antioch; Fernando III of Castile; Alfonso IX of Leon; Pedro II of Aragon; Sancho, King of Navarre. It is assumed from his poetry that he made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land was involved in the Third Crusades.
Giraud enjoyed in his time a very high reputation and was considered by many to be one of the three great troubadours, along with Arnaud Daniel and Bertrand de Born.
His early poems, in which the influence of Arnaud Daniel is felt, belong to that form called, in Provençal, trobar clus, which means

“A biography is like a handshake down the years, that can become an arm-wrestle.”
—Richard Holmes (b. )
“Had Dr. Johnson written his own life, in conformity with the opinion which he has given, that every man&#;s life may be best written by himself; had he employed in the preservation of his own history, that clearness of narration and elegance of language in which he has embalmed so many eminent persons, the world would probably have had the most perfect example of biography that was ever exhibited.”
—James Boswell (&#;95)
“In how few words, for instance, the Greeks would have told the story of Abelard and Heloise, making but a sentence of our classical dictionary We moderns, on the other hand, collect only the raw materials of biography and history, &#;memoirs to serve for a history,&#; which is but materials to serve for a mythology.”
—Henry David Thoreau (&#;)
Guiraut de Bornelh ("lo mèstre dels trobadors"…)
Guiraut de Bornelh: una òbra màger per sa reputacion tant coma per son volum, 80 poèmas d'una limpiditat de lengatge, d'una fluiditat de versificacion, d'una auçada de tòn que fòrçan lo respècte. Mas misterioses. Adreiçats a quau, quora? De descobrir. Una terra incognita. Una vida qu'a degut èsser comola coma un bèu roman e que ne sabèm pas res o manca. E un montpelhieirenc d'adopcion, regularament recebut amb onor a la cort de Guilhèm VIII.
VIDA
Guiraut de Bornelh si fo de Limozí, de l'encontrada d'Esiduòlh, d'un ric castèl del viscomte de Lemòtges. E fo òm de bas afar, mas savis òm fo de letras e de sen natural. E fo mèlher trobaire que negús d'aquels qu'èron estat denan ni foron après lui ; per que fo apelatz maestre dels trobadors, et es ancar per totz aquels que ben entendon subtils ditz ni ben pausats d'amor ni de sen. Fòrt fo onratz per los valentz òmes e per los entendenz e per las dòmnas qu'entendian los sieus maestrals ditz de las sous chansos. E la soa vida èra aitals que tot l'invern estava en escòla
