18. CIRCA MEA PECTORAThe love song in Latin and Middle High German, which is put in the mouth of a man whose intentions were clearly not honourable. The expression manda liet appears to be a combination of the imperative of the Latin mando and the MHG liet (Mod. German Lied). 18. CIRCA MEA PECTORACirca mea pectora multa sunt suspiria de tua pulchritudine, quae me laedunt misere. Manda liet, manda liet, min geselle chumet niet. Tui lucent oculi sicut solis radii, sicut splendor fulguris lucem donat tenebris. Manda liet, manda liet, min geselle chumet niet. Vellet Deus, vellent dii, quod mente proposui, ut eius virginea reserassem vincula. Manda liet, manda liet, min geselle chumet niet. In my heart there are many sighs for your beauty which torture me miserably. Send a message, send a message, my beloved does not come. Your eyes shine like the rays of the sun, like a flash of lightning which gives light to darkness. Send a message, send a message, my beloved does not come. May God grant, may the gods grant, what I have set myself to do, and that is, to unlock the bonds of her virginity. Send a message, send a message, my beloved does not come. |
