D'amor l'ardente face by Jhan Gero — Lyrics
D'amor l'ardente face, e stinte ved' ogn' hornel casto petto,
di quella ch'e mia gioia, et et mio diletto,
e'n me cresce la fiamma el grand' ardore,
per quell' avrato strale,
ch'amor mi pos' anchor ne i miei prim' anni,

About D'amor l'ardente face
Jhan Gero's D'amor l'ardente face is a secular Italian madrigal for ATB voices. The text paints a vivid picture of love's burning torch, lamenting how it extinguishes all virtue in the chaste breast. The composer vividly conveys the singer's growing flame and ardour, born of love's arrow shot in early years. This potent force is the cause of all his suffering, a deep sorrow that human remedy can never heal. Only the source of all good can mend this bitter scar, a poignant expression of love's overwhelming power.
