Renaissance music.....

Borrowed this Hille Perl Doulce Memoire CD from esplanade. Hmmm... she plays the gamba... i wonder what's that? haha will leave that inquisition for after exams....

anyway found this interesting lyrics( of Jouissance vous donneray) on the cover. Its from a poem by Clement Marot.

Jouissance vous donneray

Jouissance vous donnerai,
Mon Ami, et si mènerai
A bonne fin votre espérance.
Vivante ne vous laisserai ;
Encore, quand morte serai,
L'esprit en aura souvenance.

Si pour moi avez du souci,
Pour vous n'en ai pas moins aussi,
Amour le vous doit faire entendre.
Mais s'il vous grève d'être ainsi,
Apaisez votre coeur transi :
Tout vient à point, qui peut attendre.

I will give you pleasure, my friend,
and will lead you there
where your hope desires.
Whilst I live I will not leave you,
and even when I am dead
my spirit will remember.

If you are worried about me,
I am no less worried about you.
Love should make you understand that.
But if it grieves you to be like this,
appease your troubled heart;
Everything comes to him who can wait.
