| Information for song "El Grillo" | | | | |  | 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.
