S’io parto, i’ moro, e pur partir conviene
Ridolfo Arlotti
Madrigal: AabBCC
S’io parto, i’ moro, e pur partir conviene: | If I leave, I shall die, and yet it is necessary that I leave: | |
Morrò, dunque, il mio bene | I shall die, then, my love, | |
E questa mia partita | and this departure | |
Che mi ti toglie mi torrà la vita. | which takes me away from you will take my life from me. | |
5 | Dolorosa partita che m’uccidi! | O painful departure, you who slay me, |
Quei che congiuns’Amor perché dividi? | Why do you separate those whom Love united? |
