Tu vuoi ch’io viva o cara
Language: Italian (Italiano)
ARBACE Tu vuoi ch’io viva o cara ma se mi nieghi amore cara mi fai morir. MANDANE Oh dio, che pena amara! Ti basti il mio rossore; più non ti posso dir. ARBACE Sentimi... MANDANE No. ARBACE Tu sei... MANDANE Parti dagli occhi miei, lasciami per pietà. A DUE Quando finisce o dei! la vostra crudeltà. Se in così gran dolore d’affanno non si muore, qual pena ucciderà?
