En voz adieux - Hellas, comment by Cipriano de Rore — Lyrics
En vos adieux, dames, cessez vos pleurs
Pour le retour d'une princesse en France.
C'est le jardin auquel tant belles fleurs
Elle et ses sœurs ont en propre naissance.
Ne pleurez plus de sa beauté l'absence
Dont vous pensez être privés vos yeux
Car tôt sera si grande sa puissance
Que la verrez ici et en tous lieux.

About En voz adieux - Hellas, comment
Cipriano de Rore's En voz adieux - Hellas, comment is a secular chanson for four voices (SATB). The French text expresses sorrow at the departure of a princess, lamenting that her absence will leave the singers with tearful eyes and grieving hearts. Despite the sadness, the poem acknowledges her journey to a place where her virtues will grow, and that she will be seen again in all places. Rore's setting masterfully captures the emotional weight of these sentiments, crafting a poignant and expressive work that reflects the refined style of Renaissance polyphony.
