Accorta lusinghiera by Antonio Brunelli — Lyrics
1.Accorta lusinghiera
Già m'annodast'il cor
Ed hora acciò ch'io pera,
In me non credi Amor.
2.Negar, negar non puoi
Ahi cruda, ahi disleal,
Colpo de gli occhi tuoi,
La mia piaga mortal.
3.Che nella fronte scritto
Dell'Empia il nome stà,
Dell'Empia che trasitto
Si fieramente m'hà.
4.Vedi come t'inganni,
Ch'io mi finga i martir,
Ch'io non sostenga affanni,
Ch'io falseggi sospir.
5.In pianto mi distillo
Disciolto a i lumi il fren,
Di fuore ardo, e sfavillo
Colmo di fiamma il sen.

About Accorta lusinghiera
Antonio Brunelli's Accorta lusinghiera is an Italian secular aria for two sopranos and two tenors. The text expresses the pangs of unrequited love, with the singer lamenting how a deceptive lover has ensnared their heart and now seems indifferent to their suffering. The words paint a picture of intense inner turmoil, where outward appearances of calm mask a burning passion and a heart filled only with torment. The singer questions the beloved's cruelty and deceit, feeling imprisoned by their beauty and caused such great pain by their harshness. This piece offers a dramatic exploration of love's complexities through its evocative Italian lyrics and intimate vocal writing.
