Di pianti e di sospir by Giuliano Paratico — Lyrics
Di pianti e di sospir nutrisco il core,
Ahi, dispietato Amore,
Sì che mi stratij a torto,
Né mi vuol vivo, ahimé, né mi vuol morto.
Il sonno m'è tormento e sepoltura,
Ahi sorte iniqua e dura,
Sì che mi stratij a torto,
Nè mi vuoi vivo, ahime, né mi vuoi morto.

About Di pianti e di sospir
Giuliano Paratico’s Di pianti e di sospir is a secular canzonetta for treble voices (SSB). The Italian text speaks of the lover’s constant anguish, lamenting that love itself causes him such pain that it neither lets him live nor die. He finds no solace in sleep, and even the brightest days and flowering seasons bring him darkness. Ultimately, he resigns himself to blaming only himself for seeking a love beyond reach. This is a piece that would fit well in a concert programme, perhaps as a moment of introspection or dramatic lament.
