I took the liberty of transcribing the lyrics:
It's been a long time since I laughed that hard in an opera. Oh, Peter Maxwell Davies. I am so sure we would be friends.
I took the liberty of transcribing the lyrics:
O my love I yearn for you,
Your hair of gold, your eyes so blue.
O that you held me in your arms.
I am transported by your charms.
In a meadow sweet, in a secret valley,
Resting on my staff, I muse and tarry.
Fast I come to where to where my love doth lie,
And all my senses sense defy.
From my sleep, so deep, so long,
by the cock crowing loud,
I am aroused.
My dream is flown.
O my love I dream of you
in a meadow sweet
from my sleep, from my sleep
Your hair of gold
in a secret valley
so deep, so deep
Your eyes so blue
resting on my staff
so long
I muse and tarry
Oh that you held me
fast
by the cock
in your arms
I come
crowing loud, crowing loud
I am transported
to where my love doth lie
I am aroused
by your charms, by your charms
and all my senses sense defy
My dream is flown
It's been a long time since I laughed that hard in an opera. Oh, Peter Maxwell Davies. I am so sure we would be friends.
