Helas amy que ta longue demeure by Claude Martin — Lyrics
Hélas, ami, que la longue attente
m'est ennuyeuse et dure à supporter!
Car sans te voir
un seul jour,

About Helas amy que ta longue demeure
Claude Martin's Helas amy que ta longue demeure is a secular chanson from the Renaissance, a genre of French secular part-music. It is set for STTB voices. The text expresses the singer's deep unhappiness and impatience during a long separation from their beloved. The lover finds each moment without their companion unbearably lengthy, unable to be comforted and finding solace only in their own sadness until their reunion.
