Aura che qui d'intorno by Domenico Obizzi — Lyrics
Aura che qui d'intorno,
mormorando t'aggiri,
deh prendi miei sospiri
prendili e teco hor hora
colà lipota ove'il mio ben dimora.
Tu sola messagiera,
sarai del core amante,
aura liev'e vagante,
mentre libero il volo
spieghi dal caldo al aggiaciato polo.
Se nonlo mi vietasse,
tenor d'empio destino,
da me stesso il camino,

About Aura che qui d'intorno
Domenico Obizzi's Aura che qui d'intorno is a secular Italian aria for solo voice. The text, a lament by a suffering lover, implores a gentle breeze to carry his sighs to his beloved. The singer is asked to act as a messenger of love, a role the lover himself wishes he could fulfill but is prevented from doing so by cruel fate. He hopes that his ardent sighs, carried by the wind, might stir his beloved to pity and rekindle any fading embers of affection. The piece explores themes of longing, unfulfilled desire, and the power of even a gentle breeze to convey deep emotion.
