Dopò che tu by Enrico Radesca — Lyrics
Dopo che tu
mi vuoi tradire
per te languire,
non voglio più,
poi che la fe
e i giuramenti,
son già mai spenti,
fuggo da te.
Se'n scoglio da,
più d'una volta,
nave tal volta,
in pezzi va.
Deh dimmi di,
O bell' ingrata,
chi consigliara,
ti ha con si?

About Dopò che tu
Enrico Radesca's Dopò che tu is a secular Italian madrigal for two voices. The text expresses the singer's determination to leave a lover who has betrayed them. The lyrics speak of broken faith and oaths, leading to a flight from the unfaithful partner. The singer compares their situation to a ship dashed upon rocks, and questions who advised their beloved to act so. The composer acknowledges a deceitful situation that ultimately proved beneficial, as the new lover will prove as inconstant as the singer's former beloved. A future time will come when the false heart repents its error, but the singer emphatically states they will not return to their lady.
