Description
An English song from the 13th century, performed by the Dufay Collective.
Lyrics (Middle English)
Miri it is wile sumer y-last
And fugheles song;
Oc nu neheth windes blast
And weder strong.
Ei, ei! What this nicht is long,
And ic with wel miccel wrong,
Soregh and murne and fast.
Translation
Merry it is while summer lasts,
And bird's song;
But now the wind's blast draws near,
And fierce weather.
Oh! How long this night is,
And I with very great wrong
Sorrow and mourn and fast.
