Come rosso viburno by Carlotta Ferrari — Lyrics
Se l'amato è sull'altra riva,
vento, tu sai dove
cammina, che fa,
tu parli con lui.
Se piange, anch'io piangerò,

About Come rosso viburno
The words of Come rosso viburno express a profound longing and devotion. The speaker asks the wind to carry messages to a beloved on the other shore, pledging to share their lover's fate, whether joy or sorrow, life or death. If the beloved is lost, the speaker wishes to be laid upon their grave like a flowering viburnum. Carlotta Ferrari sets this intense Italian text for SATB choir. This secular ballade captures the dramatic emotional arc of the poem, building to its poignant conclusion. It is a powerful work suitable for choirs looking for expressive and evocative repertoire.
