(HD) SEVILLE & BARCELONA Holiday Lights ('Santa Maria Strela do Dia' - Nicholas & Cumie)

Beautiful modern rendition. (Español adentro) The Cantigas de Santa Maria ("Canticles of Holy Mary") - 420 poems with musical notation, written in Galician-Portuguese, the lyrical language of Castile at the time, during the reign of Alfonso X El Sabio (1221--1284). The Cantigas depict the Virgin Mary in a very humanized way, often having her play a role in earthly episodes. The narrative voice in many of the songs describes an erotic relationship, in the troubadour fashion, with the Divine. According to Manuel Pedro Ferreira, scholar on the Cantigas, the music found in the Cantigas can be classified as "Moorish-Andalusian". This musical influence is unusual in Middle Ages European music, and lends special qualities to the collection. Influences also of course come directly from the Latin and Byzantine ecclesiastical traditions. - from Wikipedia

original Galician-Portuguese:
Cantiga 100: Esta é de loor (1284) [Galego-Portugués]

Santa Maria, strela do dia,
mostra-nos via pera Deus e nos guia.

Ca veer faze-los errados
que perder foran per pecados
entender de que mui culpados
son; mais per ti son perdõados
da ousadia que lles fazia
fazer folia mais que non deveria.

Santa Maria, strela do dia,
mostra-nos via.

Amostrar-nos deves carreira
por gãar en toda maneira
a sen par luz e verdadeira
que tu dar-nos podes senlleira;
ca Deus a ti a outorgaria
e a querria por ti dar e daria.

Santa Maria, strela do dia,
mostra-nos via pera Deus e nos guia.

Guiar ben nos pod' o teu siso
mais ca ren pera Parayso
u Deus ten senpre goy' e riso
pora quen en el creer quiso;
e prazer-m-ia se te prazia
que foss' a mia alm' en tal compannia.

Santa Maria, strela do dia,
mostra-nos via pera Deus e nos guia.

ENGLISH:

Cantiga 100: This is in praise (1284) [translation into English]
from the Cantigas to Saint Mary by Alphonse 10th the Wise

Mary, magnified be, with Daystar beside thee;
show the way where bide we
true to God and thou our guide be.

For thou art light
that lost souls driven near perdition,
e'er with sin ill striven,
know that they with guilt sore riven stand;
but through thee are forgiven
and from their pride free
where they ne'er idly let passion denied
be bout did all sense defied see.

Blessed Mary...
Thou canst reveal to us
wyfaring paths to tread in grace
full sharing to peerless Light,
the truth declaring,
that thou alone art graced in bearing;
for God would abide thee
and all provide
He but ne'er thee denied
see nor for thee grace e'er belied be.

Blessed Mary...
Well for us thy wisdom guiding
till in Paradise abiding
where God all joy and mirth providing
waits
ever those in him confiding;

then would my joy described be
shouldst thou but deign provide me
that rest on high
beside thee my soul where doth abide he
Blessed Mary ...

ESPAÑOL:

Cantiga 100: Ésta es de loor (1284) [traducción al Español]
Cantigas de Santa María Alfonso X el Sabio. Letra cantiga 100:

Santa María, estrella del día, muéstranos el camino hacia Dios, y guíanos.

Porque haces ver a los errados, que se perdieron por sus pecados, y les haces entender que son culpables; pero que Tú los perdonas de la osadía que les hacía hacer locuras que no deberían.

Muéstranos el camino, para ganar por todos los medios la luz sin par y verdadera que sólo Tú puedes darnos; porque, a Ti, Dios te lo concedería y quería darnósla por Ti, y nos la daría.

Tu juicio puede guiarnos, más que nada, al Paraíso donde Dios tiene siempre gozo y sonrisa para quien quiso creer en El; y me placería, si a Ti te place, que fuese mi alma en tu compañía.
