To Vittoria Colonna (Sonnet XII)
(in Italian) Words by Michelangelo

A happy image of yours, zealous and ardent,
Is retained in my heart for life!
Though thousands of others are beautiful,
You alone are praised by noble ones.

Your image - mental as well as visual one -
Comes and consoles me always.
It is best subject for my mind to think about,
A best thing for my soul to feel.

When you speak to me,
I sense your grace,
The grace that can not be described.

What a shameful crime is
To give you my disgusting paintings,
When I can enjoy your beauty alive.

Fantastico

[Kievest]

Yours is a wonderful, poetic song performed with conviction, sensitivity and grace! The piano accompani- ment is another voice adding to the rich complexity of the piece! There is every reason to treat it seriously and give it the respect it deserves! My reaction to it was completely positive! Try to focus on the good reviews rather than on the one stinker who sticks out like a sore thumb and hides his cowardice in the darkness under a rock!

It's a beautiful song....don't worry about people who leave ratings of one, they are envious and bitter.

[advisorC101]

Your tallents are very impressive.You live the music, that's what's really important.

Beautiful Voice, Very Expressive!!! and the discovery of a beautiful baroque song from thoughts of the Great Master Michelangelo, in my opinion, the voice of the tenor tends to turn the heroic, when the time begins to ripen...

[DarkRaimundo]

Don't worry, about the one star. People tried to do the same to the videos on my channel. I know its annoying... The music is beautiful, and it deserves a big 5*.

[Epogdous]

Surely this lied deserves more than one star. Maybe it's a little bit "manneristic" in style but I like genuine musical revivals. Congratulations for the wonderful melismata!
