Im Leib mein junges Hertze by Orazio Vecchi — Lyrics
Im Leib mein junges Hertze, thut springen, tanzen,
weil mir die schanzen,
so wolgerathen,
dasz mir kan baten,
zu allem glück, zu grossen nutz und frommen,
denn die ich mir gewünscht, hab ich bekommen.
Sie ist für mich die rechte, die mir kan stillen,
nach meinem willen,
durch schimpff und scherze,
jetzt allen schmerze,
der frent wegn bedrenget hat mich Armen,
der ist nun hingelegt durch ihr erbarmen.

About Im Leib mein junges Hertze
Orazio Vecchi's Im Leib mein junges Hertze is a secular madrigal for SSB voices. The German text expresses immense joy and relief, as the singer's youthful heart leaps and dances. He rejoices that his good fortune has led him to all the happiness, benefit, and piety he could wish for. The beloved woman he has found is the one who can satisfy his desires, soothing all his pain through playful interaction. Having achieved this longed-for end, he sings joyfully, his previous fears now allayed by her compassion. He offers thanks to God for hearing his lament and granting his prayers.
