Fuggi fuggi, cor mio by Giacomo Moro — Lyrics
Fuggi fuggi, cor mio, questo crudele,
Ch'invece di dar vita da la morte.
E ti fa lamentar poi de la sorte.
Amor altro non è ch'affentio e fede

About Fuggi fuggi, cor mio
In this Italian canzonetta, Giacomo Moro urges his heart to flee from cruel love, which brings death instead of life and lamentation instead of joy. The text describes love as a potent and strong poison, mixing suffering with faith. It laments that love opens the doors to evil and closes them to good. The composer implores the listener to flee this tyrant, this impious and inhuman venom, unless they are blind and insane. Set for SAT voices, this secular piece offers a dramatic and passionate plea against the destructive power of love, typical of the villanella style.
