Circa Mea Pectora

Circa mea pectora In my heart
multa sunt suspiria there are many sighs
de tua pulchritudine, for your beauty
que me ledunt misere.Ah! which wound me sorely.Ah!

Manda liet, anda liet mandaliet,mandaliet
min geselle chumet niet. my lover doesn't come

Tui lucent oculi your eyes shine
sicut solis radii, like the rays of the sun
sicut splendor fulguris like flashing of lightening
lucem donat tenebris.Ah! which brightens the darkness.Ah!

Manda liet, anda liet mandaliet,mandaliet
min geselle chumet niet. my lover doesn't come

Vellet deus, vellent dii may God grant,may the gods grant
quod mente proposui: what I have in my mind:
ut eius virginea that I may loose
reserassem vincula.Ah! the chains of her virginity.Ah!

Manda liet, anda liet mandaliet,mandaliet
min geselle chumet niet. my lover doesn't come
