Aves, fuentes, ayres by Matheo de Dallo y Lana — Lyrics
Estribillo:
Aves, fuentes, aires, flores,
a mi bien cantadle amores.
Trinad suaves,
Corred veloces,
soplad alagüenos
respirad olores
y a este infant que nace
todos conformes, aplaudid,
celebrad, decidle amores.
Con gorgeos la saves, las Fuentes con risa
el aire a suspensions
las flores con fragancia

About Aves, fuentes, ayres
This delightful Spanish villancico, Aves, fuentes, ayres, is perfect for a festive occasion, perhaps celebrating the Nativity. The text urges the natural world to rejoice and sing praises to the infant Christ. Birds are asked to sing their sweetest melodies, fountains to murmur joyfully, and breezes to carry the scent of flowers. The composer, Matheo de Dallo y Lana, sets this exuberant text for two sopranos. The joyful, celebratory mood is enhanced by the imagery of nature's chorus joining in the praise of the newborn king.
