Filli tu posi by Bartolomeo Spighi da Prato — Lyrics
Filli tu posi et io piango miser e solo
questa sogl'e guancial del volto mio
son compagni del cor la fed' el duolo
per te scorg' e'il pensier tu non mi miri
per non legger nel volt'i miei martiri,
che fai tu senti tu vita mia,
chi t'adora ti chiam e ti desia.
Filli per l'aria bruna esco tacito'
amante e mentre splende'in ciel gelida luna
innanzi'alluscio tuo fermo le piante
ma non so se tu dormi'o se tu senti,

About Filli tu posi
Bartolomeo Spighi da Prato's Filli tu posi is a secular Italian aria for solo tenor, likely intended for intimate performance. The text expresses the lament of a lover separated from his beloved. He describes his solitary vigil, his tears, and his longing, as he waits outside her window under the moonlight. He questions whether she sleeps, hears him, or pretends not to, driven by a deep love and sorrow. The music would likely reflect the pathos and ardent emotion of these lyrics, suitable for a recital or a specific dramatic moment.
