Vivaldi O qui coeli terraque serenitas, RV 631 - Recitativo: Fac ut sordescat tellus (2/4)

Susan Gritton, soprano.

Latin

Fac ut sordescat tellus
dum respicimus coelum;
fac ut bona superna
constanter diligamus
et sperantes aeterna
quidquid caducam est odio habeamus.


English

Make it that the earth seem unclean
when we look to heaven;
make it that we might constantly
cherish heavenly riches
and that, hoping for things eternal,
we might regard with hatred whatever is transitory.
