Levis Songtext / Lyric

Levis exurgit Zephyrus

et sol procedit tepidus

iam terra sinus asperit,

dulcore suo diffluit.



tu saltim veris gratia

exaudi et considera

frondes, flores et gramina,

nam mea languet anima.



Quod oculis dum video

et auribus dum audio,

heu, pro tantis gaudiis

tantis inflor suspiriis.



Ver purpuratum exiit,

ornatus suos induit,

aspergit terram floribus,

ligna silvarum frondibus.






Cum mihi sola sedeo

et hec revolvens palleo,

si forte capud sublevo

nec audio nec video.



Translation by kjc007:



Zephyrus gently expels heat

and the sun proceeds with warmth

and breathes on the earth's cup

he flies in sweet stitchery



you youth dance with grace

you perceive and consider

the branches, flowers and grass

you sing in the languid breeze



Because I see while I have eyes

And we hear while we have ears

oh, for such great delight

such great breath to blow.



Spring leaves in purple splendor,

wraps us in ornate stitchery,

the earth is made of strong smelling blooms,

trees are made of branches and leaves.



I take pleasure in holding fast

and looking into the dimness,

if by fate I am left blind

I will neither see nor hear all this.
