Original Language: Italian
SOPRANO:
Anima del mio core,
Tu parti?
ALTO:
Io parto.
SOPRANO:
E prenderatti, o Dio,
Dimmi, un picciolo oblio
Giamai del nostro amore?
ALTO:
Fonte della mia vita,
Tu resti
SOPRANO:
Io resto.
ALTO:
E dubitar potrai,
In si dura partita,
Della mia fede mai?
SOPRANO:
No, no, la nostra gelosia si spenga.
ALTO:
Sì, sì, rasciuga quei begli occhi mesti.
SOPRANO: & ALTO:
E dove andar (restar) potrò che tu
non venga (resti),
S’hanno la stanza usata
I nostri cuor cangiata?
ALTO:
Mentre parto, o mio bene,
Il mio qui resta.
SOPRANO:
E ’l mio teco sen viene.
Mentre resto, o mia speme,
Il tuo qui resta.
ALTO:
E ’l tuo meco sen viene.

Dialog at Departure
SOPRANO:
Soul of my heart,
you're leaving?
ALTO:
I'm leaving.
SOPRANO:
And will you take with you, oh God,
tell me, a small remembrance
forever of our love?
ALTO:
Source of my life,
you remain?
SOPRANO:
I remain.
ALTO:
And will you ever doubt,
in such harsh separation,
of my constancy?
SOPRANO:
No, no, let our jealousy be subdued.
ALTO:
Yes, yes, dry those beautiful sad eyes.
SOPRANO & ALTO:
And where could I go (remain) that
you would not be with me,
since we have
exchanged our hearts forever?
ALTO:
Although I leave, oh my love,
my heart remains here.
SOPRANO:
And mine goes with you.
Although I remain, oh my trust,
yours remains here.
ALTO:
And yours comes with me.
