Cari labbri rubinetti by Giovanni Antonio Rigatti — Lyrics
Cari labbri rubinetti,
vezzosetti,
d'Amor cieco arci fatali.
Miserite ma vitali
son le piaghe, che s'el core mi piagate
con quel dolce anco il sanate.
Di voi rose amorosette,
lascivette,
fassi amor girland'al crine.

About Cari labbri rubinetti
Giovanni Antonio Rigatti's Cari labbri rubinetti is a secular aria for solo voice. The text, in Italian, is a passionate exploration of love's contradictory nature. The singer addresses beloved lips, comparing them to fatal arrows of blind Love, which wound the heart but also heal it with a kiss. The lyrics describe these lips as rosy and playful, weaving garlands for Love himself, and their kisses are both sweet and biting. The singer finds himself under the power of the tyrannical Love, whose deceptive kisses bring death that is paradoxically sweet and fierce.
