E pur di novo ahi lasso by Domenico Obizzi — Lyrics
E pur di novo ahi lasso,
son constrett'à partire,
anzi pur à morire,
che moriro, se te mia vita io lasso,
cio diss'evrin dolente,
mentre l'Alb'apparia nel' Oriente.
Misero io parto e veggio,
ahi dispietate forte,
che'l mio partir è morte,
poscia che mio cor lasciar io deggio,
almen nella partita,
prima che parta il piè, parta la vita.

About E pur di novo ahi lasso
This solo aria for soprano, E pur di novo ahi lasso, is by Domenico Obizzi. The Italian text speaks of a painful parting, with the singer feeling as though they are dying. The lament expresses the agony of leaving a loved one, where the heart must remain behind while the body departs. The opening lines convey a sense of resignation and deep sorrow, highlighting the despair of separation. The text continues to describe the lover's distress and the difficult farewell, culminating in a poignant exchange where the beloved asks their partner to leave contentedly, promising their heart will accompany them. The music likely reflects these intense emotions through its melodic and harmonic language.
