Se il padre perdei
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Se il padre perdei,
la patria, il riposo,
(ad Idomeneo)
tu padre mi sei,
soggiorno amoroso
è Creta per me.
Or più non rammento
l'angosce, gli affanni,
or gioia e contento,
compenso a miei danni
il cielo mi diè.

If I have lost my father
Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)
If I have lost my father,
my homeland, and my peace of mind,
(to Idomeneo)
you are a father to me,
and a loving place to stay
for me is Crete.
Now I no longer remember
the anguish and the troubles;
now joy and contentment
have been given in compensation
to me by Heaven.
