Tu, che fedel mi sei
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG
(a Sifare)
Tu, che fedel mi sei,
serbami, oh dio! quel core;
(ad Aspasia)
tu, ingrata, i sdegni miei
lascia di cimentar.
Per poco ancor sospendo
pietoso il mio furore;
ma se crudel mi rendo,
di me non ti lagnar.

You, who are loyal to me
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
(to Sifare)
You, who are loyal to me,
preserve this heart for me!
(to Aspasia)
You ingrate, do not dare
to test my wrath.
For the sake of decorum,
I shall suspend my wrath.
But if I should become cruel,
do not say I didn't warn you!
