Ay lindo amigo with Vismaya Lhi - soprano and Dusan Bogdanovic - guitar

All of the videos in this series were shot at the historic Presidio Chapel in San Francisco in a single short session. They are essentially real time 'jazz' improvisations based on the harmonic structure, melody, words and feeling of a folk song; they are not intended to be understood as performances based on tradition. Malcolm Cecil was the videographer. Vismaya Lhi and Jaromy Russo were the audio engineers.
This is a Spanish song that I originally learned as a 4 part Renaissance villancico and later heard sung as a single melody folk song by some sephardic friends of mine.

Ay linda amiga que no vuelvo a verte,
Cuerpo garrido que me lleva la muerte.
No hat amor sin pena, pena sin dolor,
Ni dolor tan agudo comoel del amor.

Ay linda amiga que no vuelvo a verte,
Cuerpo garrido que me lleva la muerte.
Levante me madre al salir el sol.
Fui por los campos verdes a buscar mi amor




Ah my love, that can never return.
Beautiful body that brings me death.
There is no love without pain
Pain without suffering,
No suffering sharper than that of love.

So get me up, my mother,
I am going with the sun.
I am going to the mountains
to try and find my love.
