Fuggi, spene mia by Andrea Gabrieli — Lyrics
Fuggi, spene mia, fuggi,
E fuggi per non far giamai [più mai] ritorno:
Sola tu, che ti struggi [distruggi]
Ogni mia pace, a far vieni [vienne] soggiorno

About Fuggi, spene mia
Andrea Gabrieli's Fuggi, spene mia is a secular Italian madrigal for SATTB voices. The text expresses a desperate plea for hope to flee, as its presence brings only destruction and an eternal, painful suffering. The singer implores hope to leave and never return, wishing instead to be tormented by envy, jealousy, sorrow, and shame. Gabrieli's setting captures the intense emotional turmoil of the words, with the rich five-part texture providing a powerful vehicle for this dramatic lament. This work showcases the expressive capabilities of the madrigal genre, blending poetic text with intricate vocal writing.
