Vorrei spiegarvi, oh Dio!

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Our translations: ENG FRE GER SPA

Vorrei spiegarvi, oh Dio!
Qual è l'affanno mio;
Ma mi condanna il fato
A piangere e tacer.
Arder non pù il mio core
Per chi vorrebbe amore
E fa che cruda io sembri,
Un barbaro dover.
Ah conte, partite,
Correte, fuggite
Lontano da me;
La vostra diletta
Emilia v'aspetta,
Languir non la fate,
È degna d'amor.
Ah stelle spietate!
Nemiche mi siete.
Mi perdo s'ei resta.
Partite, correte,
D'amor non parlate,
È vostro il suo cor.

Gern würde ich euch erklären, oh Gott,

Language: German (Deutsch) after the Italian (Italiano)

 Gern würde ich euch erklären, oh Gott,
 was mein Kummer ist!
 Aber das Schicksal verdammt mich,
 zu weinen und zu schweigen.
 Mein Herz darf sich nicht verzehren
 nach dem, den es gerne lieben würde
 und lässt mich hartherzig
 und grausam erscheinen.
 Ach, Graf, gehen Sie,
 eilen Sie, fliehen Sie
 weit weg von mir;
 Ihre geliebte
 Emilia erwartet Sie,
 lasst sie nicht schmachten,
 sie ist der Liebe würdig.
 Ach, gnadenlose Sterne!
 Feindlich seid ihr mir.
 Ich bin verloren, wenn er bleibt.
 Gehen Sie, eilen Sie,
 sprechen Sie nicht von Liebe,
 Ihnen gehört ihr Herz.
