Handel: Amadigi di Gaula, HWV 11, Act 1: "Il crudel m’abandonna" (Melissa)(original) |
Il crudel m’abbandona, e mi detesta; |
Numi! |
e soffrire il degg’io? |
Ingrato; |
segui il foco, che t’arde |
Segui l’amor, che ti consuma, o ingrato. |
Ma invano ti lusinghi |
Ché l’arti mie sapran farti morire. |
Ma cielo, e come! |
Morir farò chi vita è di quest’alma? |
Ah che già sento in petto |
Che l’odio, e l’ira va cangiando aspetto |
(translation) |
The cruel one abandons me, and hates me; |
Numi! |
and suffer the degg'io? |
Ungrateful; |
follow the fire, which is slow |
Follow love, which consumes you, or ungrateful. |
But in vain you flatter yourself |
Because my arts will know how to make you die. |
But heaven, and how! |
Will I die who life belongs to this soul? |
Ah that I already feel in my chest |
That hatred and anger are changing their appearance |
