So I'm singing this lute song at the Collegium concert, and I just got a rough translation of it today. The gods do truly have a sense of humor because it pertains to what's going on in my life now. Funny how that works out, huh?
Bear in mind ROUGH translation
Ben che'l misero cor laso tal hora.
Well does the miserable heart know the hour
porga breve riposo
taken a quick, refreshing rest
nutrito di speranza a longi affanni.
now hopes and longs for affection
co tal resurge in me poscia l'ardore
that comes back in my the power to love again
The rest of the song talks about the one night of pure ecstacy and how he longs for it again. The gods are truly funny.
