Cesti: Il tito, Act 1: “Berenice, ove sei?"(original) |
Berenice, ove sei? |
Dove t’ascondi? |
Luce degli occhi miei! |
Berenice, ove sei? |
Marmi o voi, che nel candore |
Pareggiate la mia fé, |
Per pietate palesate il mio sol, |
Dite dov’è? |
Folle, ma con chi parlo? |
Ah che l’empia, l’indegna, |
Conscia di sue lascivie, |
E de’ miei torti, |
Rapida qual baleno, |
S’è ricovrata al nuovo amante in seno. |
Furori armatemi, |
Tutto ingombratemi |
Di stigio ardor. |
Cada svenata, e lacerata |
L’empia spietata |
Che già rapirmi |
Con l’alma il cor. |
Berenice, ove sei? |
Dove t’ascondi? |
Luce degli occhi miei! |
Berenice, ove sei? |
Marmi o voi, che nel candore |
Pareggiate la mia fé, |
Per pietate palesate il mio sol, |
Dite dov’è? |
(translation) |
Berenice, where are you? |
Where are you hiding? |
Light of my eyes! |
Berenice, where are you? |
Marbles or you, who in the whiteness |
Equalize my faith, |
For pity reveal my sun, |
Where is it? |
Crazy, but who am I talking to? |
Ah that the wicked, the unworthy, |
Aware of her lewdness, |
And of my wrongs, |
Quick as a flash, |
She took refuge in her new lover in her bosom. |
Armed fury, |
All clutter me up |
Of stigio ardor. |
Fainted, and torn apart |
The ruthless wickedness |
That already kidnap me |
With the alma the heart. |
Berenice, where are you? |
Where are you hiding? |
Light of my eyes! |
Berenice, where are you? |
Marbles or you, who in the whiteness |
Equalize my faith, |
For pity reveal my sun, |
Where is it? |
