Cor mio deh non piangete by Claudio Saracini — Lyrics
Cor mio deh non piangete,
ch'altro mal io non provo altro martire,
che veder voi del mio languire,
dunque non vi dolete,

About Cor mio deh non piangete
Claudio Saracini's secular Italian madrigal Cor mio deh non piangete sets a text of poignant entreaty. The singer is urged not to weep, for the greatest suffering is to witness the beloved's languishing. If healing is desired, the speaker insists the object of their affection must cease their sorrow. The text questions the nature of pity itself, suggesting that an affection which claims to be pity, yet causes such distress, is in fact cruel. This solo madrigal, for one voice, captures a moment of intense personal emotion, a plea for solace and a re-evaluation of compassion.
