Canzoniere

Song Cycle by Jacques Reuland (b. 1918)

1. Canzoniere
 (Sung text)

Language: Italian (Italiano) 
          Se la mia vita da l'aspro tormento 
Si può tanto schermire, e da gli affanni,
Ch' i' veggio per vertù de gli ultiml anni,
Donna, de' be' vostr'occhi il lume spento, 
	  E i cape' d'oro fin farsi d'argento,
E lassar le ghirlande e i verdi panni
E 'l viso scolorir, che ne' miei danni
A llamentar mi fa pauroso e lento, 
	  Pur mi darà tanta baldanza Amore,
Ch' i' vi discovrirò de' mei martìri 
Qua'sono stati gli anni e i giorni e l'ore; 
	  E se 'l tempo è contrario a i be' desiri,
Non fia ch'almen non giunga al mio dolore
Alcun soccorso di tardi sospiri.

5. Carmen LXX
 (Sung text)

Language: Latin 
Nulli se dicit mulier mea nubere malle
Quam mihi, non si se Iuppiter ipse petat. 
Dicit: sed mulier cupido quod dicit amanti
In vento et rapida scribere oportet aqua.
