Famme pur quel che ti pare by Anonymous — Lyrics
Famme pur quel che ti pare
Donna cruda ingrata e ria
Che glie dura e gran patia
A tua voglia calcitrare
Famme pur quel che ti pare
Donna cruda ingrata e ria
Io te lasso hormai la breglia
corri pur se correr fai
chi con altri se conseglia
non patisce solo in guai
Questo sol me basta affai
e veder cioche fai fare

About Famme pur quel che ti pare
This anonymous Italian madrigal for SATB voices expresses a singer's deep frustration with a cruel and ungrateful lover. The text speaks of enduring great suffering and being trampled by the beloved's will, and the singer's decision to finally release their hold and let the lover go their own way. The singer reflects that they wish they had realised sooner the futility of their love, as their passion for this ungrateful heart now burns less intensely. The piece is a secular work from the madrigal tradition, exploring complex emotional states through intricate vocal writing.
