Lyrics - L'amour de moy (translation below)
L'amour de moy s'y est enclose
Dedans un joli jardinet
Où croit la rose et le muguet
Et aussi fait la passerose
Ce jardin est bel et plaisant
Il est garni de toutes fleurs
On y prend son ébattement
Autant la nuit comme le jour
Hélas! il n'est si douce chose
Que ce doux rossignolet
Qui chante au soir, au matinet
Quand il est las, il se repose
L'amour de mol - translation
This love of mine confined itself
inside a nice small garden
where roses and lily1 grow
and hollyhock as well
This garden is nice and pleasant,
embellished with all kinds of flowers.
You can enjoy it in the night
and in the day as well.
Alas! Nothing is sweeter
than this gentle nightingale
that sings at dusk and at dawn
When it is tired, it rests.

Your voice is a pleasure to hear. Very solid and nice intonation. Lâche pas Sean. Très intéressants aussi tes chants de marins. C'est l'fun aussi de "revoir" Bill Gossage.

[@RobKenchu]

That was beautiful. Wish I had any clue what you said, though...

[@SeanDagher]

Yeah, I should put the translation in the description. It's old French, too, so not easy to understand even for a French person.

[@brogflea6380]

This is what I would play sitting on the back of a wagon slowly making its way across the country. Such a nice, calm and peaceful little melody, well done Swindlers :)

[@SeanDagher]

Thanks Brog. That's a nice image.

[@brogflea6380]

@@SeanDagher Glad you liked it 😄

[@sonyahannah]

You are indeed a Renaissance man, my friend.

[@SeanDagher]

Ha! I see what you did there.

[@dickofthenorth1215]

There are a number of versions of this tune available on UA-cam, but I really think this is the most enjoyable. Lovely,spare use of the cittern and violin counterpoint, and the bass and beatbox add a nice propulsive quality to what can be otherwise a slightly somber tune. And great use of a nifty reel! Thanks so much for this, Sean and Swindlers!

[@SeanDagher]

Thanks Dick! That's a great review.

[@BrushQuill]

Beautiful, just beautiful and the reel at the end really makes the piece feel embedded in the time. Transports you back to a 1700 French Tavern

[@SeanDagher]

Probably. I'm going to see when The Swindlers new album, Busted (theswindlers3.bandcamp.com/album/busted), comes out on Spotify if I can put this one up, too. I guess I can put this on Bandcamp.

[@JoeMama-qg7kj]

Last year you talked to my class i was the one who sayd to measure your spirit do you remember?

[@SeanDagher]

Hi Joe. I do remember. I'm glad to read you hear on YT.

[@numbertrower1509]

What instrument man in bandana plays? Just black violin?

[@SeanDagher]

It's a violin, but it's made of carbon fibre instead of wood. The company is called Luis & Clark and the instruments sound very good.

[@numbertrower1509]

@@SeanDagher thanks! I really like your music. By the way, do you plan to make a your version of Golden Vanity in near future?

[@hohohoaaa2262]

le vieux français remplaçait donc la lettre i par la lettre y ?
comme dans "l'amour de moy" ou "le chemin du roy"?

[@SeanDagher]

Exactement. On voit le "y" dans le nom "Roy."
