"La bella netta ignuda e bianca mano,
le celeste bellezze di quel viso
col dolce ragionar cotanto umano
Madonna, m'han da me tanto diviso
che non mi sento dentro aver il core voi lo rubasti all' ora
quando con gli occhi onde il ciel si scolora gli mostrasti la via che fece amore
ei fe gran senno a gir ch'in paradiso
non poteva già farsi più beato
io per me son contento di tal stato."

"The beautiful, pure, naked, white hand,
the heavenly beauty of that face
together with the sweet and intimate conversations,
Madonna, got me so confused
that I feel like I'm no longer in control of my heart.
She stole it from me
when she showed me with her eyes, which make the sky appear pale,
the way that Amor had already followed
and the heart willingly took it immediately,
so that it could not have been happier in paradise.
For my part, I feel happy in this state."

"Die schöne, reine, nackte, weiße Hand,
die himmlische Schönheit jenes Gesichts
zusammen mit den süßen und intimen Gesprächen,
Madonna, haben mich so durcheinander gebracht,
dass ich mich so fühle, als wäre ich nicht mehr Herr meines Herzens. Sie hat es mir gestohlen,
als sie mir mit ihren Augen, welchen den Himmel blass erscheinen lassen,
den Weg zeigte, den Amor schon beschritten hatte
und das Herz es auch sofort bereitwillig nahm,
sodass es auch im Paradies nicht glücklicher sein hätte können.
Ich fühle mich meinerseits in diesem Zustand glücklich."

Way to go. Such a fine performance.

Beautifully done! De Rore is one of my favorite composers, and I think his music should be played much more often than it is. Very subtle; very stylish.
