Anonymous Renaissance Chanson

adapted by Clyde Thompson

My sweet, let us go and see if the rose which this morning opened
her crimson robe to the sun this evening still retains
the folds of her red robe and her rosy complexion so like yours.

Alas, look, my sweet, how in so short a time

she has shed her beauty, alas, on to the ground.
Nature is truly a cruel mother if such a flower endures
only from the morning till the evening.

Therefore, trust me, my sweet, while your life is still in full flower,
still at the peak of its green freshness, pluck the flower of your youth,
for, likewise, age will tarnish your beauty.

Three Renaissance Italian Love Songs

1. Vorria, Madonna
2. E dirgli: Orlando
3. La Primavera
 I should like, milady, to have you know that I love you so much I don't
know what to do. Behold to what a state this fate has brought me.

And tell him: Orlando, do please remembe"r me in your prayers so

pleasing to God, I cannot even recommend to you my flowery days,
but I could not say they are alrea~y finished.

The Springtime with its flowering branches invites you, 0 Beauty,

to the joys of sweet love, and you give me license to offer you
my heart that bows at your feet, Love, to offer you love that bows
at your feet, Love, I invite you to the sweetness of love.

Bailero (A Dialogue of the shepherds of the Haute-Auvergne)

Grace King, soprano; James Knox, baritone

Within a sunny brooklet, there turned and swam about,

As quickly as, an arrow, a wayward little trout.
I stood upon the margin and saw in quiet rest,
The little fish's bathing in water undistressed.

And while I watched, an angler came with his hook and line,
He watched the fish a-playing: "This one shall soon be mine!'"
I thought the water's clearness must not be stirred about,
Then shall the angler never ensnare my pretty trout.

The thief at last grew weary of waiting for his prey.

He made the brooklet muddy and quicker than I say,
The little fish was trapped there, the trout was dangling from his line.
I saw in deep despair, the robber 'and his prey.

Light, warm and heavy as pure gold

and the angels sing softly to the new-born baby.

Look who is walking by - the village girl!

o how beautiful she is! She'll make you fall in love.
Refrain: 0 how well you dance, beautiful girl, beautiful girl, you dance so well!
Look at the old man sitting under the stairs. What a story he's got! (refrain)"
Look at the crow in the birdcage. 0 how mad she is! (refrain)
