John Dowland - Can she excuse my wrongs?

"John Dowland - Now o now I needs must part" Lyrics

Now, O now, I needs must part,
Parting though I absent mourn.
Absence can no joy impart:
Joy once fled cannot return.
While I live I needs must love,
Love lives not when Hope is gone.
Now at last Despair doth prove,
Love divided loveth none.

   Sad despair doth drive me hence,
   This despair unkindness sends.
    If that parting be offence,
    It is she which then offends.

John Dowland - Sir Henry Umpton's Funerall - for viol consort

Thoinot Arbeau pavana 'Belle qui tiens ma vie'

Lyrics:



Belle qui tiens ma vie captive dans tes yeusse,

qui m'as l'âme ravie d'un sourire graciese,

viens tôt me secourir, ou me faudra mourir.



Pourquoi fuis-tu, mignarde, si je suis près de touai?

quand tes yeux je regarde, je me perds dedans mouai,

car tes perfections changent mes actions.



Approche donc, ma belle, approche touai mon bien.

Ne me sois plus rebelle, puis que mon cœur est tien,

pour mon mal apaiser, donne moi un baiser.

John Dowland - Now, Oh, Now I Needs Must Part (Andreas Scholl)

Now, O now, I needs must part, Parting though I absent mourn. Absence can no joy impart: Joy once fled cannot return. While I live I needs must love, Love lives not when Hope is gone. Now at last Despair doth prove, Love divided loveth none.
