TRANSLATIONS

Lasciatemi morire

O soul, I long to perish!

No more to live in anguish!

Thank you to comfort me,

Or give me solace,

Or from misfortune shield me,

Or give release from torment?

O soul, I long to perish!
No more to live in anguish!

 

Original text by Ottavio Rinuccini

English translation by James P. Dunn (26 Italian Songs and Arias, Alfred Publishing, 1991)

 

Amarilli, mia bella

Amarilli, my dear one,

Doubt not my loving heart, you most adored,

You alone my beloved.

Do but believe, for if dark fear assail you,

Take my arrow, I pray you,

Open my bosom, see all engraved before you,

Amarilli, I adore you,

Do but believe, for if dark fear assail you,

Love alone will not fail you.

Here on my bosom see all engraved before you,

Amarilli, I adore you.


Original text by Guarini

English translation by James P. Dunn (26 Italian Songs and Arias, Alfred Publishing, 1991)
