Well, I did say that I wouldn't go back to classical music! I'll probably not be able to keep that statement true.
this is one of the many serenades I used to sing to
(I still do a lot, and write new ones too!), probably one of our favourites. Now, originally (and when I sing them to her in private) these pieces are all only with a guitar (and sometimes a lute =3) and me. This particular song has been rearranged for a larger ensemble, as you'll hear!
I hope you enjoy, and that you fellows don't mind lovey-dovey things like this.
Bussa'l sole per scaldar' l'tuo giardino
The sun knocks on night's door to warm your garden,
s'alza da lontan'l profumo della sera
The scents of the night rise from afar,
ha un passo dolce 'l cammino della Luna
The moon's walk has a gentle step,
se'nasconde dietro agl'alberi aspettando la su' ora
she hides behind the trees, waiting for her hour
é me dice, "Non dirglierlo, l'aurorà è lontana,
and she tells me, "Don't tell her, the aurora is still far,
Non svelar'el segreto del tu' core."
Don't unveil your heart's secret."
Hai labbre tenere com'i fichi di Settembre
You have lips as tender as September figs,
occhi dal color' di ciliega della estate
Eyes tinted with the colour of summer cherries,
i capelli intrecciati di ghirlande de'mimose
Hair weaved with garlands of mimosas,
la tu' voce me rapisce, me transporta verso el mare
Your voice kidnaps me, it brings me towards the sea
che me dice, "Non dirglielo, el vento é furioso,
She tells me, "Don't tell her, the wind is furious,
non svelar'el segreto del tu' core"
Don't unveil your heart's secret"
Fior d'Aprile non posso aspetta'
April flower, I cannot wait,
el tempo me ruba el tu'viso
time robs me of your face,
un falco veloce s'avvicinerà; da me te riportera.
A falcon will near; he'll bring you back to me.

Italiain is for me, the most romantic language to sing in, there's nothing as good in english, for example "ha un passo dolce, il cammino della Luna" (woudn't that translate better as 'has a sweet step'? That would still work in an english context, I think :3), what a georgous line to sing! <3
Ho! How wonderful it is to read that others appreciate it so!
I honestly thought that these things would only appeal to Vera, being what they are! The others convinced me to arrange this one so that we could surprise her, heh, seems like it's a little more than I gave it credit for!
Thank you, but I do write a piece every day (lots of serenades here and there, though a lot is instrumental), so the quantity is pretty high. =P

Hehe, I don't know why, but he doesn't think this music is any good, we always tell him he's crazy, and then he goes to an asylum for a year and a half. =/
Ack, and this is nothing! He makes such beautiful songs for me <3
It's such a pity he almost never writes them down...
