Amar donna che strugge by Gemignano Capilupi — Lyrics
Amar Donna che strugge,
seguir Donna che fugge,
Amor piu non m'havrai,
in tanti guai, in tai tormenti,
affanni e stenti,
hor che'l tuo foco
non ha'n me loco,
fammi se puoi far peggio,
tene dispreggio.
Amar Donna ch'ogn' hora
odia piu chi l'adora,
no no darei ben vago,
di finta imago,
havrei ben voglia
di pena e doglia;
Homai felice viver mi lice,
disprezzo a mortuo impero
muta pensiero.

About Amar donna che strugge
Gemignano Capilupi's Amar donna che strugge is a secular canzonetta for treble voices (SSB). Its text speaks with passion and defiance of unrequited or unfaithful love. The singer declares that he will no longer be ensnared by the pain of chasing an unattainable or cruel beloved. He rejects the power of Love and the suffering it brings, choosing instead a life of freedom and self-respect. The music likely reflects this dramatic turn, moving from protest to a sense of hard-won peace.
