Moro, lasso, al mio duolo (Carlo Gesualdo)

From ChoralWiki
Revision as of 01:51, 3 November 2010 by Tuningmeister (talk | contribs) (I can't say for sure about other spelling errors; but the E-flats were obviously wrong in the context of B major chords. This is non-trivial; harpsichords then had separate keys for each note.)

Moro, lasso, al mio duolo,
E chi può dar mi vita,
Ahi, che m'ancide e non vuol darmi aita!
O dolorosa sorte,
Chi dar vita mi può,
Ahi, mi dà morte!


English.png English translation

I die, alas, in my suffering,
And she who could give me life,
Alas, kills me and will not help me.
O sorrowful fate,
She who could give me life,
Alas, gives me death.
