Je suis amoureux by Jean Guyot — Lyrics
Original text
Ie suis amoureux d'une fille
mais ie ne lose dire
va ten garila turlura
elle at les yeux vert et riant
va ten garila turlura
et la coleur resplendissant
va ten garial turlura
de sa beaultez mon cueur souspire
mai ie ne lose dire
va ten garila turlura.

About Je suis amoureux
Jean Guyot's Je suis amoureux is a charming secular chanson for STTB voices. The French text expresses the ardent but hesitant love of a suitor for a girl with sparkling green eyes and a radiant complexion. His heart sighs at her beauty, but he dare not speak his feelings, uttering only the playful refrain, 'va t'en, garila, turlura'. This piece captures the spirit of Renaissance part-music with its focus on expressive text and delicate vocal interplay. The four-part setting offers directors an opportunity to explore subtle harmonic colours and textual nuances within a concise and engaging work.
