Determinado amor a dar contento by Juan Vasquez — Lyrics
Determinado amor a dar contento
A mi que tan sin él siempre é bivido
Junta mis ojos bien con mi sentido
Por ver qué tal es mi conocimiento
Mostróme un nuevo ser, un sentimiento
tan alto que de vista lo é perdido
y el alma va tras él porque á entendido

About Determinado amor a dar contento
Juan Vasquez was a Spanish composer of the Renaissance. This work, Determinado amor a dar contento, is a secular villancico for SATTB voices. The text explores a profound new feeling, a profound love that brings contentment. The composer presents this as a divine gift, a spiritual awakening that elevates the soul towards paradise, guided by a guiding lady. The lyrics express a sense of surrender to this new, fulfilling emotion, a feeling so powerful that it eclipses all previous experiences and desires. It speaks of a truth revealed, a pure and genuine love that leads to ultimate happiness.
