Angioletta - Infideltà di donna by Giovanni Stefani — Lyrics
Angioletta
troppo'in fretta,
tu mi lasci'et abandoni,
e furtiva,
e lasciva,
a novello amor ti doni.
Anzi pure
con impure,
voglie segui stuol d'amanti,
e ti lodi,
e ten godi,
non amarne alcun fra ranti.
Cor ingrato,
dispietato,
questa dai cruda mercede,

About Angioletta - Infideltà di donna
The composer addresses Angioletta, lamenting her infidelity and swift departure. He accuses her of abandoning him for new lovers, pursuing impure desires with a swarm of suitors and taking pleasure in them, showing no regard for his affection. He calls her ungrateful and heartless, giving cruel reward to one who loves and desires only her with unwavering faith. The text paints a picture of a lover adrift, urging Angioletta to return before he is lost at sea, driven by her disdain. This secular Italian madrigal for tenor voices expresses the pain of betrayal and the plea for reconciliation.
