Love it : amazing voice with some Celtic inflexions (😉), the outstanding nice bass sound, the great Pergolesi

Un trabajo impresionante el que logras con éste instrumento tradicional. No hace falta más. Con el registro de tu voz y las armonías generadas por el instrumento es más que suficiente para éste precioso tema. Enhorabuena

Great vocal performance on a classic composition [via https://sc.repostexchange.com]

Che arcaicità, che bel brano, bravissima.

'Tender Wishes' is a song by Giovanni Battista Pergolesi, here sung in English, translated from the original French song 'Les Tendres Souhaits' aka 'Que ne suis-je la fougère', (See the complete French lyrics by Ribouette below).
The melody is by Pergolesi and the harmony, singing and nyckelharpa playing is by Marianne Lihannah.

Pergolesi, was an Italian Baroque composer, violinist and organist. Born Jan. 4, 1710, Jesi, Italy—died March 16, 1736, Pozzuoli at just 26 years old by Tuberculosis.

The lyricist is Ribouette and in this recording, 2 verses of the original 3 verses are sung. Verse no 2 is here played with two nyckelharpas. The harmony part is improvised under the Pergolesi melody.

A special thanks to the wonderful nyckelharpa player Didier Francois, who has helped me with playing this song on the nyckelharpa as well as teaching me improvisation on the nyckelharpa.

This song is also a grade song on ABRSM's classical repertoire list.

Here is the original French text with all 3 verses included:

verse 1:
Que ne suis-je la fougère,
Où, sur la fin d'un beau jour,
Se repose ma bergère
Sous la garde de l'amour!
Que ne suis-je le Zéphyre
Qui rafraîchit ses appas,
L'air que sa bouche respire
La fleur qui naît sous ses pas.

Verse 2:
Que ne suis-je l'onde pure
Qui la reçoit dans son sein!
Que ne suis-je la parure
Qui la couvre après le bain!
Que ne suis-je cette glace,
Où son minois répété
Offre à nos yeux une grâce
Qui sourit à la beauté!

Verse 3:
Que ne puis-je par un songe,
Tenir son cœur enchanté!
Que ne puis-je du mensonge
Passer à la vérité!
Les dieux qui m'ont donné l'être
M'ont fait trop ambitieux,
Car enfin je voudrais être
Tout ce qui plaît à ces yeux.

Lyrics:

I've been waiting on a change
I've always felt much older than my age
and if its for the best, its hard to gauge
I can't control it, either way

I've been hoping it's a phase
the heartbreaks, grievances, betrayals
I know with time, that everything decays
It's all full circle, anyway

And every time you speak my name
I feel the edges burn
A moth's wings to a flame
I'm waiting on the great return

I've been dreaming of the stage
A place to purge my sorrow and my rage
A place to end this long coming of age
But I'll still feel it, either way

And every time I hear my name
I feel I'll never learn 
How to accept change
I'm waiting on the great return

And every time I hear my name
I fear I'll never learn 
Who to be through all these changes

I'm waiting on the great return

Return

JEAN-MARC
 

À toi, Jean-Marc, mon vieil ami
Du temps des amours d'écoliers
Emplies de rêves qu'on lit aussi
Auxquelles on s’est identifiés

À toi, Jean-Marc, mon cher copain
Du temps des amours devinées
Et qui épatent les anciens
Parce qu'on se les est inventées

À toi Jean-Marc mon camarade
Du temps des amours rigolades
Où le baiser est moquerie
Où la caresse est fourberie

Refrain :
À toi, Jean-Marc, mon cher Jean-Marc
Du temps béni des amours mortes
Quand t’es venu de la capitale
Pour n’aimer que des provinciales

À toi, Jean-Marc, mon vieux copain
Du temps des amours incertaines
Ou l’on rigole de tout de rien
On voit une fill’ on la fait sienne

À toi Jean-Marc dans cette classe
Quand l'amour semble dégueulasse
Parce qu’on n’ voit pas, qu’on ne sait pas
Qu’on croit qu' l'amour ne viendra pas

À toi, Jean-Marc, jeune écolier
Du temps des amours méritées
Parce que nous étions les premiers
Dans notre classe à en parler
(refrain)

Était-ce vrai, mon pote Jean-Marc,
Ces histoires insensées de femmes ?
Était-ce pour le souvenir
Ou pour les mots à ne pas dire ?

Était-ce vrai l'ami Jean-Marc
Tes fragiles amourettes de gosse
Tes tendres et doux baisers précoces
Ainsi que tes rancunes amères ?

Était-ce un gros bobard, Jean-Marc,
Que t'aurais connu avant moi
L'intimité du toi et moi
Ou était-ce une image de marque ?
(refrain)

JEAN-MARC
 
To you, Jean-Marc, my old friend
From the time of schoolboy loves
Filled with dreams that we also read
With which we identified ourselves

To you, Jean-Marc, my dear friend
From the time of guessed loves
And that amaze the old ones
Because we invented them

To you, Jean-Marc, my comrade
From the time of funny loves
Where the kiss is mockery
Where the caress is deceit

Refrain :
To you, Jean-Marc, my dear Jean-Marc
Of the blessed time of dead loves
When you came from the capital
To love only provincials

To you, Jean-Marc, my old friend
From the time of uncertain loves
When we laugh about everything and nothing
You see a girl you make her your own

To you Jean-Marc in this class
When love seems disgusting
I'm not sure what to do, I'm not sure what to do
And you think love won't come

To you, Jean-Marc, young schoolboy
From the time of deserved love
Because we were the first ones
In our class to talk about it
(refrain)

Was it true, my friend Jean-Marc,
These senseless stories of women?
Was it for the memory
Or for the words not to say?

Was it true, my friend Jean-Marc
Your fragile love affairs as a child
Your tender and sweet early kisses
As well as your bitter resentments?

Was it a big lie, Jean-Marc,
That you would have known before me
The intimacy of you and me
Or was it a brand name?
(refrain)
