Translation of the song lyrics Vivaldi: Farnace, RV 711, Act 2: "Gelido in ogni vena" (Farnace) - Ian Bostridge, Антонио Вивальди

Vivaldi: Farnace, RV 711, Act 2: "Gelido in ogni vena" (Farnace) (original)

Gelido in ogni vena
Scorrer mi sento il sangue,
L’ombra del figlio esangue
M’ingombra di terror.
E per maggior mia pena
Vedo che fui crudele
A un’anima innocente,
Al core del mio cor.
Gelido in ogni vena
Scorrer mi sento il sangue,
L’ombra del figlio esangue
M’ingombra di terror.

Vivaldi: Farnace, RV 711, Act 2: "Gelido in ogni vena" (Farnace) (translation)

Cold in every vein
I feel the blood flowing,
The shadow of the lifeless son
I am cluttered with terror.
And for my greater pain
I see I was cruel
To an innocent soul,
At the heart of my heart.
Cold in every vein
I feel the blood flowing,
The shadow of the lifeless son
I am cluttered with terror.
