E si grave il tormento by Domenico Obizzi — Lyrics
E si grave il tormento
che fà provar Amore,
al misero mio core,
mentre Donna crudel vagheggio intento.
Ch'io dic'ognhor ahi che morir mi fà,
morir mi fà, un cor senza pieta.
S'io rimiro il bel viso
e godo i raggi ardenti,
de begl'occhi lucenti,
e le cate parole il dolce riso.
L'empia s'asconde onde morir mi fà,
morir mi fà, un cor senza pieta.

About E si grave il tormento
This solo aria from the Italian Baroque expresses the profound torment of unrequited love. The singer laments the cruelty of a beautiful woman, whose gaze and words offer no solace, only intensifying his suffering. Despite the pain, he finds himself unable to escape the chains of his affection, confessing that he still loves her even as she drives him to despair. The text vividly portrays a lover caught in a cycle of adoration and agony, unable to break free from a heart that has no pity.
