La clemenza di Tito: Vo disperato - Sextus (original)

Vo disperato a morte
Vo disperato a morte
Né perdo già costanza
A vista del morir
A vista del morir, del morir
Vo disperato a morte
Né perdo già costanza
A vista del morir
A vista del morir, del morir
Funesta la mia sorte
La sola rimembranza
Ch’io ti potei tradir
Funesta la mia sorte
La sola rimembranza
Ch’io ti potei tradir
Ch’io ti potei tradir
Vo disperato a morte
Vo disperato a morte
Né perdo già costanza
A vista del morir
A vista del morir, del morir
Vo disperato a morte
Né perdo già costanza
A vista del morir
A vista del morir, del morir
Vo disperato a morte;
Né perdo già costanza
A vista del morir
Funesta la mia sorte
La sola rimembranza
Ch’io ti potei tradir

(translation)

I am desperate to death
I am desperate to death
Nor am I already losing constancy
In view of dying
In view of dying, of dying
I am desperate to death
Nor am I already losing constancy
In view of dying
In view of dying, of dying
Bane my fate
The only remembrance
I could betray you
Bane my fate
The only remembrance
I could betray you
I could betray you
I am desperate to death
I am desperate to death
Nor am I already losing constancy
In view of dying
In view of dying, of dying
I am desperate to death
Nor am I already losing constancy
In view of dying
In view of dying, of dying
I am desperate to death;
Nor am I already losing constancy
In view of dying
Bane my fate
The only remembrance
I could betray you
