about

This canso is a celebration of the excellence of a beloved domna, in which the troubadour asks forgiveness from his lady for his inability to keep his sentiments a secret. In what can be termed an experiment in historical harmonisation we have added a duplum and a tenor to the original monophonic melody, in a style which reigned supreme in Western Europe of the 12th and 13th centuries.

lyrics

Bona dona, cuy ricx pretz fai valer
Sobre las plus valens, al mieu vejaire,
Avetz razo per que.m dejatz estraire
Lo belh solatz ni l’amoros parer,
Si non quar vos auziey anc far saber
Qu’ieu.us amava mil aitans mais que me?
En aquest tort me trobaretz jasse,
Quuar non es tortz que ja.us pogues desfaire.
Si.l belh semblant que.m soliatz aver
De clar que fo, dona, tornatz en vaire,
Quar connoissetz qu’ieu no m’en puesc estraire,
Mielhs me fora ja no.us pogues vezer;
Quar ges pauzar no.us puesc a non chaler:
Tals es l’envey ‘e.l dezir que m’en ve
Manhtas sazos que de vos me sove
E vir mos huelhs envas vostre repaire.
