About Falai, meus olhos, si me quereis beñy
This is a secular song from the Iberian peninsula, written for SSATB voices in Galician-Portuguese. The title translates to 'Speak, my eyes, if you love me well', and the opening lines set a tone of longing and earnest conversation. The text expresses a deep desire to speak, urging the soul to listen and not forget. The singer lives in a state of yearning, contemplating how to speak when time is running out, a sentiment that resonates through this appealing Renaissance part-song.
