Lyrics:
Anonymous, 13th Century English
Miri it is hwile summer ilast
Widh fuweles song.
Oc nu nehedh windes blast & weder strong.
Ei, ei! Hwat this niht is long
And ic widh wel micel wrong
Soregh & murn & fast.
Modern English Translation:
Merry it is while summer lasts
With the song of birds
But now draws near the wind's blasts
And harsh weather
Alas, alas! How long the night is!
And I, most unjustly
Sorrow amd mourn and fast.
Thanks for sharing this great music , saw them recently in the Cervantino Festival , Guanajuato, excellent , chapeau !
Precioso, gracias.
Miri it is while sumer ilast
With fugheles song
Oc nn necheth windes blast
And weder strong
Ei, ei! What this nicht is long
And ich with wel michel wrong
Soregh and murne and fast
Very calming. Thank you
complimenti, affascinante e commevente
Bello!
provo sempre una fortissima emozione ascoltando questo canto, come ogni anno, nel primo giorno in cui l'autunno inizia a fare sul serio (come oggi). L'emozione si decuplica ricordando le splendide persone che lo cantano e che ho avuto la fortuna di conoscere e farmi amiche, a dispetto di tempo e distanza.
Quest'anno ricorre il trentennale di fondazione de la Reverdie. Il mondo e la bellezza ringraziano.
Splendido :3
Irene, do you know what accompanying instruments are featured in this recording? My novice ears can't place it, it sounds almost like a harp, and something else? Sorry for the random question, I know this was uploaded several years ago. Thank you for reading.
Psaltery (indeed, harp like...), tambourine, a kind of bodhran and a kind of vielle (maybe hurdy-gurdy. not sure).
