Ay, fino esposo by Diego de las Muelas — Lyrics
Estribillo
Ay! fino esposo,
ay! dulce dueño,
qué suave es tu yugo,
qué apacible tu imperio,
pues con tu ejemplo
quién lo tiene por dicha la fatiga
cuando tienes la pena por consuelo.

1. Amado esposo mío,
divino sacro dueño
que fino pretendiste
que con la mano te entregase el pecho,
2. Afable dócil llama,
benigno fiel incendio
que compatibles haces
activos tus ardores con mis hielos,

About Ay, fino esposo
Diego de las Muelas's Ay, fino esposo is a sacred song from the Spanish villancico tradition. Scored for SSAT voices, this piece explores Eucharistic themes. The text expresses profound devotion and longing for spiritual union with the divine, portraying the yoke of faith not as a burden but as a sweet dominion. The singer feels the ardour of divine love, finding solace in spiritual suffering and declaring that earthly desires pale in comparison to the love of God. The composer captures the intensity of this religious experience through the intricate vocal writing suitable for a skilled choir.
