Amor, io parto (Anonymous, set by G. Caccini) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Amor, io parto, e sento nel partire
Al penar, al morire,
Ch'io parto da colei ch'è la mia vita,
Se ben ella gioisce
Quand'il mio cor languisce.
O durezza incredibil'e infinita
D'anima ch'l suo core
Può restar morto, e non sentir dolore!
Ben mi trafigge amore
L'aspra mia pen', il mio dolor pungente,
Ma più mi duol il duol ch'ella non sente.
