Information for song "El Grillo"
 
El GrilloRenaissance
Madrigal By Josquin des Prez, which appears to be about a cricket, but actually it is a satirical song about a cardinal, nicknamed the Cricket, whose sermons lasted as long as the cricket`s song and whose activities may have been unbecoming of a man of the cloth. Great fun to sing!

Song Story
The Cricket is a fine singer who can keep a long phrase going. He sings about drinking, but he doesn`t do as other birdies do, who go elsewhere when it gets too hot, the cricket is always "jumping" around (hmm....!)
and when it gets hot he sings on his own, of love...

Song Lyrics
El grillo, el grillo e buon cantore,
Che tiene lungo verso.
Dale beve grillo canta,
El grillo, el grillo e buon cantore.
Ma non fa come gli altri ucelli,
Come li han cantato un poco,
Van de fatto in altro loco:
Sempre el grillo sta pur saldo,
Quando l`a maggior el caldo
Alhor canta sol per amore.
