I am obsessed with this piece. I listen to it over and over.
Here are the words and the translation:
Pulchra es amica mea,
suavis et decora sicut Jerusalem,
terribilis ut castrorum acies ordinata.
Averte oculus tuos a me
quaia ipsi me avolare fecerunt.
Thou are beautiful, O my love,
sweet and comely as Jerusalem,
terrible as an army set in array.
Turn away thy eyes from me
for they have made me flee away.
I bought a copy of this piece (along with several others I'm obsessing over) in order to sway my choir director to add it to our next season's list.
