Je suis quasi prest by Jean de Castro — Lyrics
Je suis quasiment prêt d'enrager
de me voir ainsi sans argent.
Il m'est bien force
d'engager ma robe
et je n'en ai qu'une.

About Je suis quasi prest
Jean de Castro's charming chanson Je suis quasi prest is perfect for a light-hearted moment in a concert programme. This three-part setting for S, A, and T voices explores a secular text in French, lamenting the singer's near-madness due to a lack of money. He is forced to pledge his only coat and curses his misfortune, even considering marrying the devil. The music likely mirrors the text's playful despair, offering a delightful and witty diversion for both performers and listeners alike.
