Juan del Encina (1468 1529)
Mi libertad en sossiego
Cancionero de Palacio Nº208
Mi libertad en sossiego,
mi coraçón descuydado,
sus muros y fortaleza,
amores me l' an çercado.
Rrazon y Seso y Cordura
que tenía a mi mandado,
hizieron trato con ellos.
!Malamente m' an burlado!
y la Fé, que era el alcayde,
las llaves les ha entregado.
Combatieron por los ojos,
diéronse luego de grado.

My untroubled freedom,
my carefree heart,
its walls and defences,
have been besieged by Love.
Love has struck a bargain with Reason,
Wisdom and Good Sense,
which I had at my command:
how wickedly they have deceived me!
And Faith, which was the jailer,
has delivered the keys over to Love.
Love attacked through my eyes,
and them my defences all gladly yielded.
Performers: Ensemble Gilles Binchois
