Fuggite o pianti by Giovanni Felice Sances — Lyrics
Fuggite o pianti tornato e canti libero son,
non cicca o stolta ma d'amor sciolta e la ragion.
R.: Amar non voglio un cor di scoglio
che pien d'orgoglio mi dia cordoglio.
L'antica fede calco con piede non amo più,

About Fuggite o pianti
The words of this Italian secular aria express a joyous release from sorrow and the shackles of love. The singer declares that weeping and lamenting are now banished, and reason, freed from amorous obsession, can prevail. They reject a heart of stone that brings only grief, and mock foolish lovers who waste their energy in tears. This is a striking declaration of freedom and a return to a state of well-being, delivered here for ATB voices. Sances's music reflects this sentiment, moving from the initial anguish to a triumphant assertion of independence.
