Alexander Agricola: Amor che sospirar

Love which makes me sigh
night and day, when will you stay?
But there will be an end,
whenever my lady feels a signal,
gives a sign, alas! makes an effort for me;
there will be an end to our problems.

Love, which makes me sigh
night and day, when will you stay?
To her we will have to return, o love.
All alone I could not soften her heart,
but with your help, I could.

Love, which makes me sigh
night and day, when will you stay?
My lady, together with love
which forces you towards me
and binds me more and more,
let sweet thoughts slowly take control.

@HolyMotherofGrid : Never heard of Alexander Agricola? I promise that I'll post more of his work in the near future ;-)

Did you know that this Flemish composer influenced even the great J.S. Bach?

There seems to be some significant gaps in my musical knowledge... despite having taken 2 years of music history in university!! Somehow, his name never came up, and none of the early music groups i sang in ever did his stuff either!! // I really look forward to that "more" !!
