# Foreword

The following song breathes new life into a literary earthquake from the 12th century. Its lyrics were penned around 1180 by the Comtessa de Dia, one of the rare and extraordinary Trobadairitz - the female troubadours of Southern France. In an era when women were largely expected to remain piously silent, or were reduced to untouchable ideals in the verses of male poets, the Countess shattered all conventions. She wrote with breathtaking, unapologetic directness about female agency, raw physical longing, and earthly passion. Her bold, unvarnished confession of wanting her lover naked in her arms reaches across eight centuries, a vivid reminder that the searing vulnerability and desire of the human heart are beautifully, fiercely timeless.

[Intro – simple acoustic harp, slow pacing]
(hhaa…)
(hmm…)

[Verse 1 – fragile female vocalist, solitary harp]
Estat ai en greu cossirièr
per un cavalièr que i agut.
(hhaa…)

[Verse 2 – trembling female vocals, soft harp]
E voliá siá totz temps sobut
coma ieu l'ai amat en sobrier.
(sobrier…)

[Spoken Word – female voice whispering and weeping]
Ara vei que ieu soi traïda
(hhaa…)
car ieu non li donèi memòria.

[Pre-Chorus – vulnerable female vocals, delicate harp]
Don ai estat en gran error
en lieis e quand soi vestida.
(vestida…)

[Chorus – desperate crying female vocals, expressive harp]
Ben volriá mon cavalièr
tener un ser en mos braces nuït,
que el s'en tendrà per ereubut
sol que a lui fesetz cosselièr.
(cosselièr…)

[Instrumental Solo – melancholic slow harp]

[Bridge – fragile weeping female vocals, minimal harp]
Car plus me soi abellida,
non fas Floris de Blancheflor.
Ieu li autre mon còr e m'amor.
(hhaa…)
Mon sen, mos uelhs e ma vida.

[Chorus – emotional weeping female vocals, expressive harp]
Ben volriá mon cavalièr
tener un ser en mos braces nuït,
que el s'en tendrà per ereubut
sol que a lui fesetz cosselièr.

[Spoken Word – broken female voice, soft sobbing]
Ieu li autre mon còr e m'amor.
Mon sen, mos uelhs e ma vida.
(hmm…)

[Outro – solitary harp fading out, female breathing]
E ma vida.
(hhaa…)

[End]
