Giovanni Battista Pergolesi (1710-1736)

L'Olimpiade (1734/5)
Dramma per musica in 3 acts

Libretto: Pietro Metastasio
(I have no idea who wrote the text for this aria, Alcandro has nothing to sing in the original libretto)

Alcandro's aria (Act III)

Alle richieste
nulla risponde. È reo di morte, e pare
che nol sappia, o nol curi. Ognor piangendo
il suo Megacle chiama: a tutti il chiede.
Lo vuol da tutti: e fra suoi labbri, come
altro non sappia dir, sempre ha quel nome.

L'infelice in questo stato
benché reo, ne petti altrui
pietà desta, e a pianti sui
tutti invita a lagrimar.

Né il suo labbro innamorato
lascia mai lo stile antico:
chiama sempre il caro amico,
e lo torna a richiamar.

The music comes from his 'Adriano in Siria' (Emirena's first aria). See video response here.
