Cantigas de Santa Maria, attr. Alfonso X "el Sabio" (13th-c. Spain)
Monophonic cantiga
From live program "Rosa das Rosas: Songs for the Virgin Mary"
lyrics
Rósa das rósas e Fror das frores,
Dona das donas, Sennor das sennores.
Rósa de beldad’ e de parecer
e Fror d’ alegría e de prazer,
Dona en mui pïadosa seer,
Sennor en toller coitas e doores. Rósa das rósas...
Atal Sennor dev’ óme muit’ amar,
que de todo mal o póde guardar;
e pódell’ os pecados perdõar,
que faz no mundo per maos sabores. Rósa das rósas...
Devemola muit’ amare servir,
ca punna de nos guardar de falir;
des i dos érros nos faz repentir,
que nós fazemos come pecadores. Rósa das rósas...
Esta dona que tenno por Sennor
e de que quéro seer trobar,
se éu per ren póss’ aver séu amor,
dou ao démo os outros amores. Rósa das rósas...
Rose of roses, Flower of flowers,
Dame of dames, Ruler of Rulers.
Rose of beauty and demeanor,
flower of joy and pleasure,
dame in being merciful,
Lady in relieving pain and suffering. Rose of roses...
One should greatly love such a Lady
who can protect him from all harm
and pardon him his sins
which he so basely commits in the world. Rose of roses...
We should devoutly love and serve Her,
for She strives to keep us from transgression
nd makes us repent of our errors
which we commit as sinners. Rose of roses...
This Dame I have as my Lady,
and Her troubadour I would be.
If I can somehow win Her love,
I consign to the devil all other loves. Rose of roses...
