Shadow of My Lover

Air de cour by Michel Lambert Collection Airs for one, II, III & IV partsThemes LovePeriod 17th century

Shadow of my lover, shadow forever plaintive,
Alas! What do you want? I am dying.
Be attentive for a moment
To the fateful tale of my keen sorrows.
It is on this fatal shore
That I saw your blood flow with my tears.
Nothing can halt my fleeting soul,
I yield to my cruel misfortunes.
Shadow of my lover, shadow forever plaintive,
Alas! What do you want? I am dying.
