Amor tu parti by Alessandro Costantini — Lyrics
Amor tu parti io sent'al tuo partire,
il penar il morire,
da me parte colei,
ch'è la mia vita,
ma che vita dich'io, s'ella gioisce,
quando'l mio cor languisce,
ò durezza incredibile infinita,
d'anima che'l suo core,
può lassar morto,e non sentir dolore.
Voi pur da me partiste,
Anima dura ne vi dolse il partire
ohime questo.e morire,
Crudel, e voi gioire,
questa, e pur vera,esser l'hora suprema,

About Amor tu parti
Alessandro Costantini composed this secular madrigal for SATB voices in Italian. The text expresses the profound pain and despair of separation from a loved one. The singer laments that their beloved departs, causing them to feel as though they are dying. This intense suffering is amplified by the beloved's apparent joy in the separation, a harsh and incredible cruelty that leaves the singer questioning the nature of such a heartless soul. The text questions how one can leave behind their heart and feel no sorrow, highlighting the singer's own agony and disbelief at this profound and unimaginable hardness of spirit.
