************************************
Giuseppe Torelli, the composer of “Tu lo sai”, was primarily an instrumental composer and specializing in the violin. Indeed, there seems to be a violin-like quality to the vocal line in “Tu lo sai”.
Here are the “Tu lo sai” lyrics and “Tu lo sai” translation, as well as representative performances in several voice types.

“Tu lo sai”
Giuseppe Torelli

Tu lo sai lyrics
Tu lo sai quanto t’amai,
Tu lo sai, lo sai crudel!
Io non bramo altra mercè,
Ma ricordati di me,
E poi sprezza un infedel.
***
Tu lo sai translation
You know it, how much I loved you,
You know it, Cruel one!
I don’t burn for any other,
just remember me,
And scorn the unfaithful.
