Renaissance lyrics are always so scandalous. X P

Very good! I enjoyed the dynamics, although the one flaw I found was on "tuto e di desire." There wasn't enough "T" on the tuto. Otherwise, the intonation was beautiful, and all the vowels were clear and on pitch. Very good, very good.

[kimestella]

sex a thousand times?.... haha! :D

dolce cigno... sweet swan.... must be a horny swan... :D

[jerevans]

You realize the song is all about how the person would like to have sex a thousand times?

[patriotchild]

This is not about death the translation is: The gentle white swan Singing dies, and I while weeping, I reach the end of my life Strange and different fate, That he dies unconsoled, And I die blessed. Death that in the dying Fills me with all joy and desire If in dying no other pain I sense, A thousand deaths a day would content me.

This is a beautiful song Katrina and thank you so much for the sharing and the translation, it is very helpful to the true meaning of the song.

Hugs, Michael

The white and sweet swan

dies singing, and I,

weeping, reach the end of my life.

Strange and different fate,

that he dies disconsolate

and I die a blessed death,

which in dying fills me

full of joy and desire.

If in dying, were I to feel no other pain,

I would be content to die a thousand deaths a day.

[Jakeakakc]

WTF?

[jerevans]

Renaissance... sex equated with death, or losing a piece of your soul to another. Hard to grasp, I know, but that's what the poet was implying.

[Jakeakakc]

lol I never read the sex part... but oh well if that's what it means
