Medley: Sleeping with the Enemy

from Cleaning Out My Closet by Reuben Walton

/

about

This was a composition composed by myself and my friend Daniel Washington of the Lowell Gentlemen Songsters, a barbershop singing group. The vocals are mine, recorded in one of the practice rooms on the fourth floor of Durgin Hall on South Campus at UMass Lowell. They were "Noche Serena" and "Gentle Annie". These were two of the four songs I was preparing for my jury during the Fall 2010 semester, filtered through a strange key of pitch correction.

lyrics

Noche serena de primavera,
blanca paloma del alba luz
noche serena de primavera;
blanca azucena, esa eres tu

Y al haber yo llegado aquí,
todo lleno de embeleso
recibe ese tierno beso que te mando para ti

Campo en invierno, flor marchitada
noche sin luna, negro turbión;
Flor sin aroma, marchitada
arbol tronchado - eso soy yo.

Alma del core,
Spirto dell'alma,
Sempre costante t'adorerò!
Sarò contento
Nel mio tormento
Se quel bel labbro baciar potrò.

Thou wilt come no more, gentle Annie,
Like a flower thy spirit did depart;
Thou art gone, alas! like the many
That have bloomed in the summer of my heart.

Chorus:
Shall we never more behold thee;
Never hear thy winning voice again
When the Spring time comes, gentle Annie,
When the wild flowers are scattered o'er the plain?

We have roamed and loved mid the bowers
When thy downy cheeks were in their bloom;
Now I stand alone mid the flowers
While they mingle their perfumes o'er thy tomb.
