Ondas do mar de Vigo

from Eva (full 13​-​track album) [2013] by Evo

/

about

This cantiga is preserved with six others in the Pergamino Vindel, which is the only surviving manuscript with musical notation from this Galician troubadour. The peculiarity of this lyrical composition in Galician-Portuguese is that unlike the previous songs, this is a declaration of love from a feminine point of view, with original expressive characteristics. The voice is that of a domna lamenting the absence of her friend and
lover, who is in an unspecifi ed location far away. The love expressed in this cantiga de amigo remains unsatisfi ed due to a forced separation. The sense of sadness and frustration is set in coastal Galicia and the sea personifi es the stormy mood of the enamoured lady. This domna is not in fact an aristocratic lady of the troubadour’s poetic world, but an earthly, passionate and pained creature, expressing her feelings of love.

lyrics

Ondas do mar de Vigo,
Se vistes meu amigo?
E ai Deus!, se verra cedo?
Ondas do mar levado,
Se vistes meu amado?
E ai Deus!, se verra cedo?
Se vistes meu amigo,
O por que eu sospiro?
E ai Deus!, se verra cedo?
Se vistes meu amado,
Por que ei gran coidado?
E ai Deus!, se verra cedo?
