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.
