The romantic elements of musical comedy play in contrast to the ambivalence of the lyrics and the story.
To explore the effect of the songs on their hearers, listen to the readings of oribinal 1 and 7 male voice and 2 and 6 female voice ; for the female voice, two different readers were recorded, as a reminder of the variable of different speakers. The three walk the streets of Paris, party, read, and sleep together.
In alternate stanze, a young man and a young woman sing of their love in separation. In various ways, those left come to terms with the departure and absence of a loved one: showing concern, eating together, attempting new relationships, trying to "be there" for the other. Sometimes it's lighthearted, sometimes there are jealousies. origginal

Learning Love songs from Ramesside Egypt Among ancient Egypt manuscripts, love songs survive from only one time and place: the Ramesside Period community of elite craftsmen working on the tomb of the king Deir el-Medina, 13thth centuries BC.
There are three papyri with sets of long songs, and one fragmentary pottery jar covered in another set; in addition there are about twenty ostraca that bear compositions that have been identified as love songs Mathieu : 27, with list and reference to different opinions of modern commentators. Perhaps the most elaborate series of songs is the cycle of seven stanze on the back of a papyrus roll now preserved in originnal Chester Beatty Library and Gallery, Dublin Papyrus Chester Beatty I, verso, column 1 to column 5, line 2: other love xongs follow the cycle.
These may be the places orignal the songs were composed and sung originally. Although no manuscripts survive from the palace sites themselves, the songs seem to echo the figures of singing women on late Eighteenth Dynasty and Nineteenth Dynasty cosmetic equipment and vessels produced for the highest level of society. In the transliteration and translation below, each line-end corresponds to a black dot marked above the line in the original 'verse-point'.
Then death strikes. The contents of the songs have been odiginal to indicate an even more elite setting, the palace and court of the king: the centres of power of Ramesside Egypt were all in the north, at Per-Ramses, Memphis and the palace of the court women at Gurob.
There are no later manuscripts containing love songs, but other written sources indicate that the genre continued in use or was revived; the inscription on a stela of about BC describes the owner, a woman named Mutirdis, in terms close to the Ramesside love songs Mathieu : 36 n. No Middle Egyptian equivalent survives, although parts of the Middle Egyptian composition now known as Kemyt seem to present a man justifying his absence to a griefstruck woman. Then, the spirit returns and new commitments are possible.

The songs are written in the Late Egyptian phase of the Egyptian language, a formal version of the spoken language of New Kingdom Egypt. As in many cultures, they call one another 'brother' and 'sister' Mathieu : 26 originsl the man sings of her beauty, and his wish to approach her the woman, separated, in the house of her mother, sings of her longing for his arrival the man abandons hope of reaching her the woman struggles with her desires after seeing her, the man rejoices but is still separated after seeing him, the woman sings of her hope that her mother might share her sentiment seven days of separation have oLve the man sick: only she can cure him In the original, each stanza is introduced by the word 'mansion' like originl, the Italian word for a chamber and a ; the first or last words in each stanza play on the sound of the word for the.
