A canso about absence, in which the pain of unrequited love forces the troubadour to leave his familiar surroundings. We have added an instrumental section of our own composition to this magnifi cent piece,
which provides a counterpoint to the main melody in the third verse.
lyrics
Be m’an perdut lai enves Ventadorn
Tuih mei amic, pois ma domna no m’ama!
Et es be dreihz que ja mais lai no torn,
C’ades estai vas me salvatj’ e grama.
Ve.us per que.m fai semblan irat e morn:
Car en s’amor me deleih e.m sojorn
Ni de ren als no.s rancura ni.s clama.
Aissi co.l peis qui s’eslaiss’ el cadorn
E no.n sap mot, tro que s’es pres en l’ama,
M’eslaissei eu vas trop amar un jorn ,
C’anc no.m gardei, tro fui en mei la fl ama,
Que m’art plus fort, no.m feira focs de forn!
E ges per so no.m posc partir un dorn,
Aissi.m te pres d’amors e m’aliama.
No.m meravilh si s’amors me te pres,
Que genser cors no crei qu’el mon se mire:
Bels e blancs es, e frescs e gais e les
E totz aitals com eu volh e dezire.
No posc dir mal de leis, que non i es!
Qu’e.l n’agra dih de joi, s’eu li saubes!
Mas no li sai, per so m’en lais de dire.
Mos bels vezers, per vos fai Deus vertutz
Tals c’om no.us ve que no si’ ereubutz
Dels bels plazers que sabetz dir e faire.

Three beautiful instruments and ten beautiful compositions with dynamics that keep the listener (this one at least, and I suspect more!) engaged both in moments of high energy and speed, and in slow, developing passages. rvss.eel
