Atenaide (1728)

"M'accende amor l'ire guerriere in petto"

performed by Vivica Genaux
with Modo Antiquo
Federico Maria Sardelli, conductor

Teodosio (an Eastern Roman Emporer):

"M'accende amor l'ire guerriere in petto,
E per beltà fedel, vado a pugnar.
Ma se il rival non giungo, ahi, che dispetto!
O se infedel lei trovo, ahi, che penar!
M'accende amor l'ire guerriere in petto . . ."

"Love kindles warlike fury in my heart,
And I go to fight for faithful beauty.
But if I do not triumph over my rival,
[ah, what bitterness!]
Or if I find she is unfaithful, what grief!
Love kindles warlike fury in my heart . . ."
