Arianna a Naxos (Haydn)

2011 MSM recital

----------------------

Dove sei, mio bel tesoro,
Chi t'invola a questo cor?
Se non vieni, io già mi moro,
Né resisto al mio dolor.
Se pietade avete, oh Dei,
Secondate i voti miei,
A me torni il caro ben.
Dove sei? Teseo!
Dove sei?

Where are you my sweet treasure?
Who tore you from my breast?
If you do not come, I shall die,
I cannot bear such grief.
If you are merciful, oh gods,
Hear my prayer,
And send my beloved back to me.
Where are you? Theseus!
Where are you?


Ah! che morir vorrei in sì fatal momento,
Ma al mio crudel tormento
Mi serba ingiusto il ciel.
Misera abbandonata non ho chi mi consola.
Chi tanto amai s'invola barbaro ed infedel.

Oh! Would that death might come in this dreadful hour
But heaven cruelly decrees
My continued suffering.
Poor abandoned one, with no one to console her,
My beloved has fled, cruel and disloyal.
