Trovommi Amor Lyrics

The song Trovommi Amor is performed by Mediaeval Baebes in the album named Mirabilis in the year 2005 .

Era il giorno ch'al sol si scolararo per la pieta del suo
fattore i rai quando i' fui preso, et non me ne guardai,
che i be' vostr'occhi, Donna mi legaro.
Tempo non mi parea da far riparo contr' a colpi
d'Amor; pero m'andai secur, senza sospetto, onde I
mieie guai nel commune dolor s'incominciaro.
Trovommi Amor del tutto disarmato, et aperta la via
per gli occhi al core che di lagrime soon fatti uscio et
varco.
Pero al mio parer non li
fu onore ferir me de saetta in quello stato,
a voi armata non mostrar pur l'arco

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

It was the day when the sun's rays turned pale with grief
for his Maker when I was taken, and I did not defend myself
against it, for your lovely eyes, Lady, bound me.
It did not seem to me a time for being on guard against Love's
blows; therefore I went confident and without fear, and so my
misfortunes began in the midst of the universal woe.
Love found me altogether disarmed, and the way open through
my eyes to my heart, my eyes which are now the portal and
pa*sageway of tears.
Therefore, as it seems to me, it got him no honour to strike me
with an arrow in that state, and not even to show his bow to you,
who were armed
