9. Caro Aminta, pur vuoi / Non può, Filli, più il core
Dialogic Madrigal: abbAcC bddBeE
Prima parte | ||
Caro Aminta, pur vuoi | Dear Amynth, alas, you want to | |
Lasciar, ahimè, quel fiore | abandon the flower that | |
Che tua Filli col core | your Phyllis gave you with all her heart | |
Già ti donò ne’ più verd’anni suoi; | in her youthful years; | |
5 | Né in questa dipartita | nor in this departure tell her at least: |
Dirli almen: “Resta in pace, a Dio mia vita”. | “Remain in peace, farewell, my life.”. | |
Seconda parte (Riposta) | ||
Non può, Filli, più il core. | Phyllis, my heart can bear no more. | |
Mira pur tu l’effetto | See for yourself the effect | |
De l’ardente mio affetto | of my ardent love | |
10 | Che si trabocca giù dagl’occhi fuore. | which overflows from my eyes. |
Sia voce il dolor mio, | Let my suffering be my voice, | |
Egli in vece di me ti dica: “a Dio”. | and utter in my place “farewell” to you. |
