Philippe Jaroussky: Nisi Dominus I - Vivaldi

Italian libretto:


Nisi Dominus aedificaverit domum:
in vanum laboraverunt qui aedificant eam.
Nisi Dominus custodierit civitatem:
frustra vigilat qui custodit eam.


English translation:

Unless the Lord build the house,
they have laboured in vain who build it.
Unless the Lord keep the city,
The watchmen waketh but in vain.
