From TESTUDO:

"The title refers to the Latin aphorism ' Solum cum sola non dicunt Ave Maria' . A man and a woman 'don't say the Hail Mary when they are alone'. No, they don't pray now that they are finally together. They make love. But this lute is like 'a treasure chest, a mistress with a chastity belt' ( dixit Floris De Rycker). But where is the key? Even in confused times, the lute allows you to continue dreaming."
