by Giovanni Battista Guarini (1538 - 1612)

Che non t'ami, cor mio
 (Sung text for setting by S. d'India)

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Che non t'ami cor mio?
Ch'io non sia la tua vita e tu la mia,
che per nuovo desio
e per nuova bellezza io t'abbandoni?
Prima che questo sia,
morte non mi perdoni.
Che se tu sei quel cor onde la vita
M'è si dolce e gradita,
Fonte d'ogni mio ben, d'ogni desire,
Come posso lasciarti, e non morire?

    Set to music by Sigismondo d'India (1582? - 1629?), "Che non t'ami, cor mio", 1607, from Il primo libro de madrigali a cinque voci, no. 11
