Della sua tresca, Cavour non faceva misteri con nessuno. Ne parlava spregiudicatamente non solo con gli amici del Circolo del whist, ma anche col padre, il quale lo esortava a prenderla come un piacevole passatempo, ma senza impegnarcisi troppo, visto che Nina aveva figli e tre anni più di lui. Camillo seguiva i suggerimenti anche perché in quel momento aveva un’altra relazione con la marchesa di Castelletto, della cui concorrenza aveva informato Nina. Ma costei non poteva molto protestare perché anch’essa aveva a Milano un altro amante, di cui Cavour era a sua volta al corrente e, non sapendo come districarsi tra i due, chiedeva consigli al marito, che con un disinteresse pari soltanto al cinismo, gli dava quello di tenerseli entrambi con una ben dosata distribuzione di orari e di entusiasmi.

Translations of the non-English lyrics and general nerdery under the cut, bc I’m passionate about lyrics.

O Rosa Bella - Johannes Ockeghem (c.1450), tr. David Wyatt (2012)

O beautiful rose, o sweet heart of mine,

Do not leave me to die, by your pity!

Ah, must I end up weary and grieving

For serving well and faithfully loving?

O god of love, what pain this loving is!

See how I die every moment for that cruel lady!

Help me then in my pining,

Heart of my heart, do not leave me to die.

This is a short chanson from the late medieval/early renaissance period. The original courtly love poem was written c.1400 by Leonardo Giustiniani, but the lyrics and music in this recording are from the later version by Johannes Ockeghem.

Очи чёрные/Dark Eyes - Євген Павлович Гребінка (Yevhen Pavlovych Hrebinka) (1843) tr. unknown (wikipedia)

Black eyes, passionate eyes, Burning and beautiful eyes! How I love you, how I fear you, It seems I met you in an unlucky hour! Oh, not for nothing are you darker than the deep! I see mourning for my soul in you, I see a triumphant flame in you: A poor heart immolated in it. But I am not sad, I am not sorrowful, My fate is soothing to me: All that is best in life that God gave us, In sacrifice I returned to the fiery eyes!

While most versions of this song are from a more morose (and much less Gideon) set of later lyrics originally preformed by Feodor Chaliapin, I did find one recording using the original text!

Cuando Vuelva a Tu Lado - María Grever (1934) tr. myself (2021)

When I return to your side

Don’t deny me your kisses

For the love that I’ve given you

You won’t be able to forget

Don’t ask me anything

I have nothing to explain to you

For the kiss you denied me

You can’t give it anymore

When I return to your side

And you are alone with me

The things that I tell you

Never repeat, for pity’s sake

Join Your lips to mine

And hold me in your arms

And count the beats

Of our heart

No real comment on this one, it’s just cute as fuck.

#griddlehark #playlist #the locked tomb #tlt playlist #gideon nav #harrowhark nonagesimus #gideon the ninth #harrow the ninth #lmao yeah there are definitely harrow the ninth spoilers. implicitly #I prioritized the songs being tonally appropriate and audio quality above recording date so there are a lot of recordings from after 1950 #it was a wrench giving up the 1905 recording of The Last Rose of Summer but it was mostly unintelligible #this is meant to be listened to in order and I'm proud of some of the song transitions but if you wanna shuffle it you do you #I may have gotten a little carried away with this....
