CLEOPATRA
Che sento? Oh dio! Morrà Cleopatra ancora.
Anima vil, che parli mai? Deh taci!
Avrò, per vendicarmi,
in bellicosa parte,
di Bellona in sembianza un cor di Marte.
Intanto, oh Numi, voi che il ciel reggete,
difendete il mio bene!
Ch'egli è del seno mio conforto e speme.
Se pità di me non senti,
giusto ciel, io morirò.
Tu da pace a' miei tormenti, o quest'alma
spirerò

CLEOPATRA
What do I hear ? Oh gods ! Let Cleopatra die,
too.
Abject soul, what are you saying ? Ah, be
silent !
To take part
In this combat
I shall have the countenance of Bellona and the
heart of Mars.
Meanwhile, oh gods, you who rule the heavens,
Protect my beloved !
For he is the comfort and the hope of my heart.
If you feel no pity for me, Just heaven, I shall
die.
Grant relief to my torments,
Or this soul will expire.

waar ben je?

  • Beautiful aria, beautiful rendition! I love "Se pietà"… shares a huge lot in common with the equally beautiful "Scherza Infida".

  • very nice indeed!
