Busque Amor novas artes, novo engenho
 (Sung text for setting by S. Gervasoni)
 Matches base text
Language: Portuguese (Português) 
Busque Amor novas artes, novo engenho,
para matar-me, e novas esquivanças;
que não pode tirar-me as esperanças,
que mal me tirará o que eu não tenho.

Olhai de que esperanças me mantenho!
Vede que perigosas seguranças!
Que não temo contrastes nem mudanças,
andando em bravo mar, perdido o lenho.

Mas, conquanto não pode haver desgosto
onde esperança falta, lá me esconde
amor um mal, que mata e não se vê;

Que dias há que na alma me tem posto
um não sei quê, que nasce não sei onde,
vem não sei como, e dói não sei porquê.

    Set to music by Stefano Gervasoni (b. 1962), "Busque Amor novas artes, novo engenho", 2007, first performed 2007 [ counter-tenor, oboe and trombone ], Edizioni Suvini Zerboni
