PROGRAM
Canzonette a tre voci Salomone Rossi
Donna il vostro bel viso (c.1570-i630)
Lady, your fair face opens Paradise to
him who gazes upon it. But my wretched
heart lives in nought but tears and sorrows.
I low can you bear it, Amore -
if indeed you are the true Lord of lovers,
that this cruel and spiteful one glories
thus in my pain,
lo ini sento morire
I feel that death approaches, and
yet I may not speak; for such is my fate
that silent and loving I must sink to death.
I bel figustri e rose
The fair privets and roses which Nature has
placed in your face, gentle Lady, are my eternal
doom.
Scherzan intorno 1 pargoletti arnorl
Little Cupids play around you, o my clear star,
for you, among the beautiful, are most beautiful
of all.
Violets and roses, in dainty garlands, compete
for your favor, for you, among the beautiful,
are most beautiful of all.
Translations by Lucia Robinson
