Di Dio Madre beata by Anonymous — Lyrics
Di Dio Madre Beata,
Che regni in cielo e pur la terra miri,
Deh prego, odi le voci e i miei sospiri.
Io caggio, e pur ritorno
Al fier nemico in preda, e se ben scorgo,
Vinto tal' hor', e morto ancor risorgo.
Ma che mi giova ahi lasso!
Ch'i sia ferito, e giaccia, e poi si raro

About Di Dio Madre beata
This sacred Italian solo for SSA voices comes from the Renaissance, a period rich in madrigal composition. The anonymous composer presents a heartfelt plea to the Blessed Mother of God. The text expresses a struggle against temptation and adversity, with the singer lamenting their fallings and seeking divine protection. The lyrics convey a deep sense of personal reliance on the Virgin Mary as a source of hope and strength, asking her to arm and defend the singer against overwhelming forces. It is a poignant devotional prayer, seeking solace and resilience in the face of life's challenges, ultimately desiring victory over death itself.
