I believe that this is a love song from Dante' to Beatrice Portinari(1266-1290). Dante' met Beatrice at the age of nine in Florence and fell in love at first sight. Dante' loved Beatrice for the rest of his life although she married another man and died three years later at the age of twenty-four. Afterward Dante' retreated and wrote poetry dedicated to her that was eventually published as "La Vita Nuova". "The color has left you...For her no one dreams...all lust lashes out"- Beatrice is dead "Already gone...never heard it coming"- unexpexted death "My mind not mine to be lost"- Dante' took this death hard "I paint them roughly..."- he deals with it artistically (here it says paint but in reality, poetry) Ira, gula, luxuria (wrath, gluttony and lust) heavy as their holes are deep" -the dark depths that this endeavor takes him "Roma...where is my country?"- I wander but I can't lose your memory "Wholly in his hands, worthy in his eyes you and I"- God would surely protect and approve of us "Yeshua, where you go take me with thee..."- Asking for comfort from God A traslated quote from "La Vita Nuova" "Behold, a diety stronger than I; who coming, shall rule over me." Just a guess... |
