Nel dolce seno - Perchè l'una - English translation
In the tender arms of beautiful Clori said Tirsi who, suffering, already felt his last hour approaching, Tirsi, raising his eyes to the longed-for radiance of his beloved: "My soul, now I die happy." Whereupon she sighed with sweet sorrow: "O cruel one, thou thinkest to go to death without me? I promised, and do not regret, to die with thee; I am indeed dying, and sense already my passage to death, so that the one and the other soul will slip away together." |
