Fiorite vall' amene by Rocco Rodio — Lyrics
Fiorite vall' amene
D'ogni dolcezza piene
Ch'ogn' un fate gioire
Perche mirand' in voi bramò morire.
Aria vagha e ridente
Che spiri dolcemente
Fresc' aura d'ogni intorno
Perch' à me sol fai cosi oscur' il giorno.

About Fiorite vall' amene
Rocco Rodio's Fiorite vall' amene is a secular Italian madrigal for two sopranos and tenor. The text paints a vivid picture of beautiful valleys, filled with sweetness and bringing joy to all. Yet, the singer finds no solace there, expressing a longing to die while gazing upon their beauty. The contrasting imagery of the valleys' delight and the singer's personal sorrow continues with gentle breezes that bring darkness to the day and tranquil seas that only highlight the singer's tears. The poet reveals that the source of this pain is the absence of their beloved, making the very earth, air, and sea intensify their suffering.
