SJuli's video: Grandi: O quam tu pulchra es - Jaroussky

Alessandro Grandi (1586? - 1630) O quam tu pulchra es Philippe Jaroussky, countertenor Ensemble Artaserse from the album „Beata Vergine" Picture: Bernardino Luini (c. 1480/82-1532): Susanna and the Elders ******* O quam tu pulchra es! Quam pulchra es amica mea, Quam pulchra es columba mea, Quam pulchra es formosa mea, O quam tu pulchra es! Oculi tui columbarum, Capilli tui sicut greges caprarum Et dentes tui sicut greges tonsarum. O quam tu pulchra es! Veni de Libano, Veni amica mea, columba mea, formosa mea. O quam tu pulchra es! Veni coronaberis, surge, propera, Surge sponsa mea, surge dilecta mea, Surge immaculata mea, Surge, veni, quia amore langueo. ******* O how beautiful you are, my friend, how beautiful you are, my dove, how beautiful you are, my fair one. O how beautiful you are! Your eyes are like the dove's, your hair is fine like the goat's, your teeth are white like shorn lambs. O how beautiful you are! Come from the Lebanon, come, my friend, my dove, my fair one. O how beautiful you are! Come, you will be crowned, arise, hasten, arise, by bride, arise, my beloved, arise, my unspotted one, arise, come, for I die of love. (Translation: Hugh Graham)
