by Antonio Cifra (c1584 - 1629)

Cifra's Index
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Una voce       In quel gelato core la face hai spenta, amore
               Piagne madonna et io godo del pianto suo come del mio
               Se gl'occhi vostri io miro, donna, m'abbaglio.
A due voci     O sempre e quando parti e quando torni
                    Tu di salvarmi cerchi a quali scorni
                    Certo è scorno il tuo honor
                    Tempo fu ch'io ti chiese e pace
               Misera, non credea ch'a gl'occhi miei potessi
                    Ohimè de' lumi già si dolci e rei
                    Ma che? Squallido e scuro anco mi piaci
                    Dalle pallide labra i freddi baci
A tre voci     Temer, donna, non dei ch'io scopra altrui
               Ben quel puro candore che'n questa neve candida
A quatro voci  Era la notte e'l suo stellato velo
                    L'innamorata donna tua col cielo
                    Poi rimirando il compo ella dicea
               Così a mia vita combattuta e rea
               Sovente a l'hor che su gl'estivi ardori.
                    E de suoi strani et infelici amori
                    Indi dicea piangendo in voi serbate
                    Senta svegliarsi al cor dolce pietate
