@ashleydanielleish ... and girls should not have short hair and wear pants? Oh puleeze

[redbrian3655]

ENGLISH: Meadows, cover up with flowers, lilies, cover your leaves! Behold the Bridegroom comes from Lebanon to relax in the gardens. Winds, run a quick breath, open your wings with a soft rustle! And the green shadows, breezes with your quivering Fly here, help, do germinate, pollinate all these lovely groves, then fans, troops flattering, my beloved!

I've found the translation of the lyrics in French: Prés, couvrez-vous de fleurs, lys, couvrez-vous de feuilles ! Voici que le Fiancé vient du Liban se délasser dans les jardins. Vents, courez d’un souffle rapide, Ouvrez vos ailes avec un doux bruissement ! Et par les ombres verdoyantes, Avec vos brises frémissantes, Volez ici, aidez, faites germer, Fécondez tout dans ces bosquets charmants ; Puis éventez, troupes flatteuses, mon bien-aimé

[Solangeag1]

@kostyel It's latin - Florete prata, Frondete lilia.

Egredietur de Libano sponsus, ut pascatur in hortis.Currite, austri turbine fluido, Solvite pennas murmure placido; et viridantibus umbris, et ventilantibus auris, advolate; fæcundate, germinate, grata inter nemora; et dilecto ventilate, blanda inter agmina.

Ergo veni, campi flos, dulcis aura, Cæli ros. Me non fol, non cæca nox delectat. Veni amor, Veni vita, Mundi Salus infinita. Et languenti, suspiranti, Da solamen te amanti.

Does anyone have the lyrics and what they mean? I can manage to understand latin a bit but i don't have the lyrics (or is it an early modern version of Italian? since italian was the diplomatic language back then)

[ashleydanielleish]
