SET LIST/SONG TRANSLATIONS

Caro mio Ben

My dear beloved


My dear beloved,

believe me at least,

without you

my heart languishes.


Your faithful one

always sighs;

cease, cruel one,

so much punishment!


Amarilli, Mia Bella 

Amaryllis, my lovely one


Amaryllis, my lovely one,

do you not believe, o my heart's sweet desire,

That you are my love?

Believe it thus:  and if fear assails you,

Doubt not its truth

Open my breast and see written on my heart:

Amaryllis, Amaryllis, Amaryllis,

Is my beloved.


Vergin, tutto amor

Vergin Mary, full of love


Virgin [Mary], full of love,

Oh mother of goodness,

Oh mother holy,

Hear, sweet Mary,

The voice of the sinner.

May his weeping move you,

May his laments be received by you.

Let his sorrow, his sad pleas,

Be heard by your merciful heart.

Oh mother of goodness,

Virgin [Mary], full of love.


IL mio bel foco

My fire of love


My fire of love,

however far

or near I might be,

never changing,

will always be burning

for you, dear eyes.

That flame which kindled me

is so pleased with my soul

that it never dies.

And if fate entrusts me to you,

lovely rays of my beloved sun,

my soul will never be able

to long for any other light.


Danza, danza fanciulla

Dance, dance young girl



Dance, dance, young girl

to my song;

Dance, dance, gentle young girl

to my song;

Twirl lightly and softly to the sound,

to the sound of the waves of the sea.

Hear the vague rustle

of the playful breeze

that speaks to the heart

with its languid sound,

and invites you to dance

without stopping, without stopping

that invites you to dance.

Dance, dance, gentle young girl

to my song.


Se tu ma’mi, se tu sospiri

If you love me, if you sigh


If you love me, if you sigh

 Only for me, dear shepherd,

 I am sorrowful for your sufferings;

 yet I delight in your love.

 But if you think that

 I must in return love only you,

 Little shepherd, you are subject

 To deceiving yourself easily.



 The beautiful purple rose

 Will Silvia choose today;

 With the excuse of its thorns, 

 Tomorrow, then, will she despise it.

 But the advice of the men

 I will not follow -

 Just because the lily pleases me,

 I do not have to despise the other flowers.


Ma Rendi pur contento

Only make her happy


Only make happy

 The heart of my beautiful [lady],

 And I will pardon you, love

 If my own [heart]is not glad.


 Her troubles I fear

 More than my own troubles,

 Because I live more in her

 Than I live in myself.


Vaghissima sembianza

Very charming image


Very charming image of a woman formerly loved,

 who, then, has portrayed you with so much similarity

 that I look, and I speak, and I believe to have you

 before me as in the beautiful days of love?

  The dear remembrance which has been awakened

 in my heart so ardently has revived my hopes,

 so that a kiss, a vow, a cry of love?

 more I do not ask of her who is silent forever.


Va Godendo

Joyous, graceful and lovely goes


Joyous, graceful and lovely goes

That free flowing little brook

And through the grass with clear waves

it goes gladly running to the sea



Sebben, crudele

Although, cruel love


Although, cruel love,

you make me languish,

I will always

love you true.

With the patience

of my serving

I will be able to tire out

your pride.


Va Godendo

Joyous, gracious and lovely goes


Joyous, graceful and lovely goes

 That free-flowing little brook,

 And through the grass with clear waves

 It goes gladly running to the sea.


Selve Amiche 

Friendly woods


Friendly woods, shady plants,

Loyal shelter for my heart,

this loving soul asks from you

some peace from my grief.


O, del mio amato Ben 

Oh, lost enchantment of my dearly beloved


Oh, lost enchantment of my dearly beloved!

 Far from my eyes is he

 who was, to me, glory and pride!        

 Now through the empty rooms

 I always seek him and call him                  

 with a heart full of hopes?

 But I seek in vain, I call in vain!

 And the weeping is so dear to me,

 that with weeping alone I nourish my heart.

 

 It seems to me, without him, sad everywhere.

 The day seems like night to me;

 the fire seems cold to me.

 If, however, I sometimes hope

 to give myself to another cure,

 one thought alone torments me:

 But without him, what shall I do?

 To me, life seems a vain thing

 without my beloved.
