Salve porta - Improvisation

The real sun

The earliest surviving secular song in the English language, from the 13th century. We learned this song from our friend Meri-Sofia Lakopoulos.

Lyrics:

Mirie it is while sumer y-last 
With fugheles son 
Oc nu neheth windes blast 
And weder strong. 
Ei, ei! What this nicht is long 
And ich with wel michel wrong 
Soregh and murne and fast. 

Mirie - merry 
y-last - lasts 
fugheles - birds 
son - sound, song 
Oc - but 
nu - now 
neheth - neareth, draws closer 
weder strong - fierce weather 
What... long - Oh but how long 
ich - I 
wel michel - "well mickle," very much 
Soregh - sorrow, grieve 
murne - mourn

Mirie it is
