PDF of Score
The lyrics of this piece are extraordinarily modern check out the translation and comparison to some more modern love laments. Take a look at the video below and listen to the composition. You can hear the pain and grief in the voice of the singer as she emulates the sobs of an unrequited love.
"Tears of mine, what holds you back,
why don't you give vent to the fierce pain
that takes away my breath and weighs on
my heart?" - Barbara Strozzi
"You can reduce me to tears with a single sigh
Evry breath that you take
Any sound that you make is a whisper in my ear
I could give up all my life for just one kiss
I would surely die if you dismiss me from your love
You take my breath away" - Queen
"So many words for the broken heart
Its hard to see in a crimson love
So hard to breathe
Walk with me, and maybe
Nights of light so soon become
Wild and free I could feel the sun
Your every wish will be done" - Backstreet Boys
"Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart, caused by you" -Little Anthony and the Imperials
