The matter:

In ‘Kiss me, hold me’ we can find some examples of secular songs from the16th century dealing with love in a most sensual and erotic way. All of them are regarded from a drama point of view and overstating the meaning of the text to set the contents out. Some of the songs have to do with forbidden love, with lovers desire… A woman is the narrator and the main character of the story in almost all of the songs. We can find the same feelings and needs in these old stories as in our present days.
