Io pur respiro in così gran dolore
E tu pur vivi, o dispietato core.
Ahi, che non vi è più speme
Di riveder il nostro amato bene!
Deh, morte, danne aita,
Uccidi questa vita!
Pietosa ne ferisci, e un colpo solo
A la vita dia fin ed al gran duolo.

Composition:

    Set to music by Carlo Gesualdo da Venosa (c1561 - 1613), "Io pur respiro in così gran dolore", published 1611 [ chorus ], madrigal for five voices
