***********************************************
Piangono al pianger mio le fere, e i sassi
A miei caldi sospir traggon sospiri.
L'aer' d'intorno nubiloso fassi,
Mosso anch' egli à pietà de miei martiri.
Ovunque io volgo, ovunque giro i passi
Par che di me si pianga, e si sospiri;
Par che dica ciascun, mosso al mio duolo,
Che fai tu qui, meschin, doglioso e solo?

**********************************************
(Translation)

When I weep wild beasts weep too,
the stones sigh in sympathy with my ardent sighs.
The very air around me turns to mist,
so moved is it to pity by my grief.
Wherever I go, wherever I turn my steps,
I feel I am the object of tears and sighs;
I seem to hear each creature, pitying, say:
What does thou here, poor fellow, sad and solitary?

The first painting in this video is "Lutenist" (c. 1626) by Orazio Gentileschi (1563 1639).

I love this song too !

Recently, I've got a friend who plays a lute. I wish I could sing such a song with him ...
