Quanto ha di dolce Amore
Hi Mick, thanks for adding English translations to the Gesualdo pieces. With respect to Quanto ha di dolce Amore, the word order that I understand would make more sense is this:
- Perchè sempre io vi baci,
- o dolcissime rose,
- Tutto [quanto ha di dolce,
- Amore] in voi ripose.
- So that I would constantly kiss you,
- Oh, sweetest roses,
- All [the sweetness there is,
- Love] has hidden in you.
Then my suggestion would be something like this (I'm not certain about the best word order here):
- All the sweetness there is,
- So that I would constantly kiss you,
- Oh, sweetest roses,
- It all has Love hidden in you.
Since the original translation is yours, feel free to change it if you agree with the above.

Thanks. I'm changing the translation with the benefit of this insight. Mick

Hi Mick,
Thanks for the correction. Do you know of a translation that could be posted here?
