Dunque il mio fido - Amante tradito II by Giovanni Stefani — Lyrics
Dunque il mio fido amore
t'usci cor mio dal core,
stolto e colui ch'a bella Donna crede,
che quant'ha piu bellezza, ha manco fede.
Dunque non pens'ingrata
quanto tempo t'ho amata,
ahi ch'a Donna leggiadra in van si spera,
che quant'è piu leggiadra, e piu leggiera.

About Dunque il mio fido - Amante tradito II
This solo madrigal for soprano voice sets a text expressing the bitterness of betrayal. The singer laments that a once-trusted love has been false, and warns against believing in beautiful women, whose beauty is inversely proportional to their fidelity. The music reflects the text's disillusionment and eventual stoic acceptance of the situation, finding peace now that the deceptive love is gone. This Italian secular song offers a poignant exploration of romantic disappointment, characteristic of the madrigal tradition.
