Antonio Vivaldi
Cantata: Qual per ignoto calle, RV677
II. Aria "Quel passagier son io"
Italian libretto:
Quel passagier son io
che vo cercando in te,
mia bella, amore e fé,
e sol ritrovo, oh Dio,
rigore e crudeltà.
E pur costante, Irene,
bella nemica mia,
men orgogliosa e ria,
spero che di mie pene
un giorno avrai pietà
English translation:
That traveller am I,
who seek in you,
my fair one, love and constancy,
and find only, oh God,
severity and cruelty.
And yet stil faithful to you, Irene,
my lovely adversary,
I hope that one day, less haughty
and wicked, you will have
pity on my suffering. |
