Handel: Serse, HWV 40 - "Ombra mai fù"(original) |
Frondi tenere e belle |
del mio platano amato, |
per voi risplenda il fato. |
Tuoni, lampi, e procelle |
non v’oltraggino mai la cara pace, |
austro rapace. |
Ombra mai fu di vegetabile |
cara ed amabile, |
soave più. |
Ombra mai fu di vegetabile |
cara ed amabile, |
soave più. |
Cara ed amabile, |
ombra mai fu di vegetabile |
cara ed amabile, |
soave più. |
(translation) |
Tender and beautiful fronds |
of my beloved plane tree, |
for you, fate shines. |
Thunder, lightning, and storms |
May dear peace never offend you, |
southern bird of prey. |
Ombra was never vegetable |
dear and lovable, |
she suave more. |
Ombra was never vegetable |
dear and lovable, |
sweeter more. |
Dear and lovable, |
shadow was never vegetable |
dear and lovable, |
sweeter more. |
