Come lungi da voi by Antonio Morsolino — Lyrics
Come lungi da voi dolce mio
bene vivero senza pene.
E facendo da me l'alma partita,
come poss'haver vita,
deh dimelo ben mio,
che questo sol e l'ultimo desio.
Come faro se non havro
piu cuore, moriro di dolore.
Che la schiandomi tu senza con forto,

About Come lungi da voi
Antonio Morsolino's canzonetta Come lungi da voi is written for SSB voices. The Italian text expresses the singer's anguish at being separated from their beloved, fearing death from sorrow. The lyrics describe a state of despair where life is unbearable without the loved one, and the singer contemplates their imminent demise. Yet, a glimmer of hope emerges as the singer believes their spirit will accompany the beloved, even if their body remains buried. The piece explores themes of love, loss, and the profound pain of separation, questioning if the beloved will feel remorse when the singer dies.
