COR MEI CORDIS (Heart of my Heart)Text and Music by Patricia Van Ness © 1994

Translated into Latin by Edward J. Vodoklys, S.J. © 1994

I.Fleo; mei lacrimant oculi I weep, my eyes weepLacrimae cadentes deorsum Tears fall from my eyesEt ab oculis meis profundunt. And flow down.Sursum verto vultum meum ad I turn my face upward to the plumbei caeli formam, beauty of the leaden skyUbi pluvia gracilis incidit Where fine rain fallsAd meas mille lacrimas Upon my thousand tears.

II.Tu es mea infans, You are my childProles meus animae, The creation of my soulCantus purissimi auri A song of purest goldVolitans in crepusculo. Floating in the twilight.Fleo te et dolorem tuum I weep for you and for your sorrowFleo formam vitae tuae, fleo vires tuas, For the beauty of your life, for your strength,Fleo timorem tuos oculos implentem. For the fear that fills your eyes.

III.Cor mei cordis, Heart of my heart,Tu habes cor animumque tuum You have your own heart and soulSed si tu ad me venis, But if you come to meFovebo te curaboque te, I will cosset you and care for youLavabo in aqua te rosacea I will bathe you in rosewaterInvolvamque te in pannis suaviter redolentibus And wrap you in sweet-smelling clothesatque ad labra tua mel adducam And bring honey to your lipsEt panem calidum ac lactem frigidulum levemque And warm bread, and milk, smooth and coolNam te cognovi For I have known youAtque nomen tuum inspiravi And have breathed your nameMi carissimi My dearest oneInfans mei cordis The child of my heart.

IV.Chant:Cantus purissimi auriPolyphony:Una nos ambulabimus in silva We will walk together in the forestApud arbores cornos suspensas Among the suspended dogwood treesUbi flores in vespertino volitant Where blossoms float in the duskAequae luminosis gemmis Like luminescent jewels.Silentium tuum auscultabo I will listen to your silenceAtque verba cordis tui And to the words of your heartInvolvam te in meo pallio I will wrap you in my cloakLacrimasque tuas suscipiam And catch your tearsNam te cognovi For I have known youAtque nomen tuum inspiravi And have breathed your name.

V.Tu es mea infans You are my childProles meus animae The creation of my soulCantus purissimi auri A song of purest goldVolitans in crepusculo Floating in the twilight.
