El Grillo- The Cricket

Listen to El Grillo here: (be amazed and afraid...)



El grillo by Josquin des Prez (c1440-1521)

Language: Italian

El grillo è buon cantore,
Che tienne longo verso,
Dalle beve grillo canta.

Ma non fa come gli altri uccelli,
Come li han cantato un poco,
Van' de fatto in altro loco
Sempre el grillo sta pur saldo,

Quando la maggior è'l caldo
Al' hor canta sol per amore.

Language: English
The cricket

The cricket is a good singer
He can sing very long -
He sings all the time.

But he doesn't act like the birds.
If they've sung a little bit
They go somewhere else
The cricket remains where he is...

If the month of May is warm
Because he sings out of love.
