Arder dunque debb'io di nova fiamma by Filippo Nicoletti — Lyrics
Arder dunque debb'io di nova fiamma
Non ne portend' aver frutto ne fiore,
Gioir dev'altri c'abb'in pen' il core,
Io del suo amor non poss'averne dramma
Onde fia mai que quanto più s'infiamma,
L'amoroso desio tanto più more
Al cor la speme e del foco uscir fuore
Poco mi cale e men l'ardor si sfiamma.

About Arder dunque debb'io di nova fiamma
Filippo Nicoletti's Arder dunque debb'io di nova fiamma is a secular Italian madrigal for SATTB voices. The text expresses the lover's plight, consumed by a new flame, yet finding no fruit or flower from his passion. He laments that while others may find joy in their love, he can gain nothing from hers. His desire grows, but his hope dwindles, as his heart is consumed by the fire of love. He feels trapped by his beloved's angelic countenance, her beauty having drawn away his very spirit. Bound by a thousand invisible chains, he is unable to escape the intense desire she inspires.
