Deux que le trait d'Amour touche bien vivement by Andreas Pevernage — Lyrics
VIII
Deux que le trait d'Amour touche bien vivement,
N'ont rien qu'un seul penser, qu'un desir, qu'une flame:
Ce n'est dedans deux corps qu'un esprit et qu'une ame,
Et leur souverain bien gist en eux seulement.
Ils ont en mesme tans, mesme contentement,
Mesme ennuy d'un seul coup leurs poitrines entame,
Bref leur vie et leur mort pend d'une seule trame,

About Deux que le trait d'Amour touche bien vivement
Andreas Pevernage's chanson Deux que le trait d'Amour touche bien vivement is a secular work for two-part choir (SA). The French text speaks of the profound union of two lovers. When love truly strikes, the singers are told, the two lovers share a single thought, a single desire, a single flame. They become one spirit and one soul, their greatest happiness found only in each other. Their sorrows are shared equally, their lives and deaths bound together. Such love, the text concludes, unites hearts, making of two individuals a single entity, a testament to a rare and powerful force.
