Amor di propria man by Horatio Colombano — Lyrics
Amor di propria man congiunti havea,
In loco chiuso duoi fedeli amanti,
(Per dar fine a lor pianti,) *
L'un'era Tirsi e l'altro Galatea,
E perch'ogn'un di lor havea desire,
Di provar il morire,
Fù il primo Tirsi a dire,
La sua Ninfa gentil stringendo forte,
Vita mia cara io son vicino a morte.
La Ninfa alhor con voce ebra d'amore,

About Amor di propria man
Horatio Colombano's Amor di propria man is a secular Italian madrigal for SSATB voices. The text paints a scene of two faithful lovers, Tirsi and Galatea, brought together by Love itself in a secluded place. They both desire to die in each other's arms. Tirsi speaks first, expressing his imminent death, to which Galatea responds with equally fervent affection. They die together with joyful hope of reuniting in the afterlife, finding fulfillment in their shared passion.
