Anima mea liquefacta — Lyrics
Anima mea liquefacta est, ut dilectus locutus est.
Quaesivi et non inveni illum; vocavi et non respondit mihi.
Invenerunt me custodes civitatis, percusserunt me et vulneraverunt me.

About Anima mea liquefacta
This unison Latin antiphon draws from the rich tradition of Gregorian chant. The text, a fervent expression of spiritual longing, speaks of a soul consumed by love for a divine beloved. The singer searches, calls out, and is wounded by the guardians of the city walls, a poignant metaphor for the soul's journey through spiritual trials. The lyrics vividly convey a sense of yearning and devotion, culminating in a plea to announce to the beloved the singer's languishing love. This sacred music offers a profound meditation on divine love and the soul's passionate pursuit.
