Ardo, sì, ma non t'amo I by Orlando di Lasso — Lyrics
Ardo sì ma non t'amo
Perfida e dispietata,
Indegnamente amata
Da un si leale amante.

About Ardo, sì, ma non t'amo I
Orlando di Lasso’s Ardo, sì, ma non t’amo I, sets a secular Italian text by Guarini. This madrigal, for SATTB voices, explores a complex emotional state. The singer declares they burn, but not with love. Instead, they are consumed by disdain for a perfidious and unfeeling beloved, who has been undeservedly loved by a loyal admirer. The singer asserts they will no longer boast of their sorrow, for their heart is now healed. Though they still burn, it is with scorn and not with love.
