Circa mea pectora

Language: Multiple Languages

Our translations: ENG ITA SPA

Circa mea pectora
multa sunt suspiria
de tua pulchritudine,
que me ledunt misere. Ah !

Mandaliet,
mandaliet,
min geselle
chumet niet.

Tui lucent oculi
sicut solis radii,
sicut splendor fulguris
lucem donat tenebris. Ah !

Mandaliet,
mandaliet,
min geselle
chumet niet.

Vellet deus, vellent dii,
quod mente proposui,
ut eius virginea
reserassem vincula. Ah !

Mandaliet,
mandaliet,
min geselle
chumet niet.

Ricolmo ho il petto (Baritono e coro)

Language: Italian (Italiano) after the Multiple Languages

Ricolmo ho il petto
di molti sospiri,
per la tua bellezza,
e ognuno è una ferita. Ah!

Sto cantando,
Sto cantando,
ma il mio amato
non sta tornando.

I tuoi occhi lucenti
sono come raggi di sole,
come splendore di folgore
che dona luce alle tenebre. Ah!

Sto cantando,
Sto cantando,
ma il mio amato
non sta tornando.

Voglia Dio, con tutti i Santi,
ciò che mi ripropongo in mente,
che ogni vincolo virginale
possa presto disserrare.

Sto cantando,
Sto cantando,
ma il mio amato
non sta tornando.
