about

Anonymous, Cancionero de Palacio (15th-c. Spain)
3-voice villancico in praise of the Virgin Mary
From live program "Rosa das Rosas: Songs for the Virgin Mary"

lyrics

En el servicio de vos
toda mi vida me fundo,
por lo cual non yerro á Dios
nin mucho menos al mundo.

Si de aquesto me apartase,
antes pienso que erraría,
porque si Dios vos mirase
él mesmo vos amaria.

Así quen servier á vos
toda mi vida me fundo,
por lo cual non yerro á Dios,
nin mucho menos al mundo.

Pues por tí, Virgen, sabemos
la carrera de salud,
muestranos seguir virtud
por via que no la errermos.

Que cualquier que la errare,
presta tiene gran caida;
quien la sirviere y amare
perdurable gloria e vida.

Razón es que supliquemos
a tu santa excelsitud,
nos muestre seguir virtud
por via que no la erremos.

My entire life
is based on being in your service,
and for this reason I do not err with God,
and much less with the world.

If I were to separate myself from this,
I think that would be a mistake –
because if God looks upon you,
he then also he loves you.

As such, in serving you,
my entire life finds its foundation,
and for this reason I do not err with God,
and much less with the world.

For with you, Virgin,
we find the way to health;
you show us how to follow virtue
by a clear path.

Anyone who strays from it,
will soon suffer a great fall;
who serves and loves you
will find everlasting glory and life.

For this reason we pray
to your most high holiness,
show us how to follow virtue,
by a clear path.

Translation by Tracy Cowart
