    POETIC TRANSLATIONS

    Amor Preparami

    Amor Preparami​ is about a woman tells life to either prepare her for the trials and
    tribulations of love, or to leave her alone. She is in love with a man, but her love is not returned.
    Though she says that she can tolerate having the chains of love, but what she can not stand is
    being teased by love.

    Where’er You Walk

    Where’er You Walk ​is from the Opera ​Seleme​. A princess has been seduced by and has
    spent the night with the god Jupiter. The song takes place as he sends her one her way back to
    her castle. The song promises a safe journey back to the castle and speaks of all of nature will
    bowing in her direction as she goes on her way.

    My Life’s Delight

    My Life’s Delight ​is a speaking bidding the love of a woman’s life to give himself over to
    the joys of love. With the first verse, the singer begs her love not to leave her in anguish and begs
    him to catapult them both into happiness. With the second verse, she compliments his looks and
    says the purity in him is reflection in his beauty. Then returns to the main theme by inviting him
    to bask in the “heavenly light” of love with her.

    Non lo Diro col Labbro

    Non lo Diro col Labbro​ is translated in English as the song of “Silent Worship.” The
    song takes place at the beginning of the third Act of Handel’s opera, ​Tolomeo​. Alessandro is
    singing of his love for a woman, but does not feel that he can openly love her. He hopes that
    even though he can tell her how much her loves her with words, every glance he sends in her
    direction will speak his love for her in volumes.

    Let Yourself Go

    Let Yourself Go​ is a standard by Irving Berlin. The song has a jazzy melody and rhythm
    that compliments the lyrics splendidly. The lyrics speak of a party scene with a band and a
    dancefloor. The song bids its listeners to get inspired by the music they hear and give themselves
    over to dancing.
    What’ll I Do

    What’ll I Do ​begins by speaking of the end of a love. By talking about split, the singer’s
    ambiguous feelings towards her past relationship become more defined as she realizes she does
    not know what her future holds. She goes into more detail in the main part of the song. She
    speaks of how even though her past relationship is over she does not know how she will react of
    feel when he moves on to another relationship and she’s still alone.
