Amor, ich bin gefangen by Antonio Brunelli — Lyrics
Amor, ich bin gefangen,
durch deine list, die du an mir begangen,
wie ich es hab befunden,
mit tausend Ketten hast du es gebunden.
Du hast mich recht betrogen,
weil du auff mich gewendet hast dein Bogen
und auff mein Hertz gestossen,
mit tausend Pfeilen hast du es durchschossen.

About Amor, ich bin gefangen
This secular German madrigal, Amor, ich bin gefangen, by Antonio Brunelli, sets a text expressing the pain of love's betrayal. The speaker laments being captured by Cupid's wiles, feeling bound by a thousand chains and pierced by a thousand arrows that have struck their heart. The intense imagery conveys a sense of overwhelming suffering, with the beloved now surrounded by a thousand flames and lamenting their woes a thousand times more than any joys they might have known. Composed for SSB voices, this piece offers a dramatic exploration of romantic anguish.
