02/19/07: Il bianco e dolce cigno

Il bianco e dolce cigno
cantando more et io
piangendo giung'al fin del viver mio.
Stran'e diversa sorte,
ch'ei more sconsolato
et io moro beato.
Morte che nel morire
m'empie di gioia tutto e di desire.
Se nel morir’ altro dolor non sento
di mille mort'il di sarei contento.

The white and sweet swan //
dies singing and weeping, I approach the end of my life. //
Strange is it, //
that the swan dies without comfort //
and that I die joyfully. //
A death fulfills me with hapiness and longing //
because I don’t feel no other pain(when I die), //
I’d be happy to die a thousand times a day.

Pietro Bembo/Jacques Arcadelt Il bianco e dolce cigno (c. 1539, early madrigal)
