Translation of the song lyrics Handel: Radamisto, HWV 12, Act 3: "Qual nave smarrita tra' sirti" (Radamisto) - Emőke Baráth, Ensemble Artaserse, Philippe Jaroussky

Handel: Radamisto, HWV 12, Act 3: "Qual nave smarrita tra' sirti" (Radamisto) (original)

Qual nave smarrita
Tra sirti e tempeste,
Né luce, né porto
gli toglie il timor.
Tal io senz’aita
Fra doglie funeste,
Non trovo conforto
Al misero cor.
Qual nave smarrita
Tra sirti e tempeste,
Né luce, né porto
gli toglie il timor.

Handel: Radamisto, HWV 12, Act 3: "Qual nave smarrita tra' sirti" (Radamisto) (translation)

What a lost ship
Between threats and storms,
Neither light nor port
takes away his fear.
So I without help
Amidst fatal pangs,
I find no comfort
To the miserable cor.
What a lost ship
Between threats and storms,
Neither light nor port
takes away his fear.
