Britten: Seven Sonnets of Michelangelo, Op. 22 - Sonetto XXXI(original) |
A che più debb’io mai l’intensa voglia |
Sfogar con pianti o con parole meste |
Se di tal sorte 'l ciel, che l’alma veste |
Tard' o per tempo, alcun mai non ne spoglia? |
A che 'l cor lass' a più morir m’invoglia |
S’altri pur dee morir? |
Dunque per queste |
Luci l’ore del fin fian men moleste; |
Ch’ogn' altro ben val men ch’ogni mia doglia |
Però se 'l colpo, ch’io ne rub' e 'nvolo |
Schifar non poss'; |
almen, s'è destinato |
Ch entrerà 'nfra la dolcezza e 'l duolo? |
Se vint' e pres' i' debb’esser beato |
Maraviglia non è se nud' e solo |
Resto prigion d’un Cavalier armato |
(translation) |
To what more do I ever owe the intense desire |
Let it out with tears or with sad words |
If so is heaven, which the soul dresses |
Late or in time, does anyone ever strip them? |
What makes me want more to die |
If others must die? |
So for these |
Lights the hours of the end less troublesome; |
Anything else is worth less than my every pain |
But if the blow, that I stole from it, is not clear |
Schifar not poss'; |
at least, he's destined for it |
Who will enter between sweetness and sorrow? |
If he vint 'and pres' i' he must be blessed |
Maraviglia is not if naked and alone |
I remain imprisoned by an armed Cavalier |
