Opera by Nicola Antonio Porpora (1686 - 1768)

Translated to:

French (Français) — Poliphème

Alto Giove
 (Sung text for setting by N. Porpora)
 Matches base text

Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Alto Giove
è tua grazia, è tuo vanto,
il gran dono di vita immortale,
che il tuo cenno sovrano mi fà.

Ma il rendermi poi quella
già sospirata tanto
Diva amorose e bella,
è un dono senza uguale
come la tua beltà.

Se al campo e al rio soggiorna
 (Sung text for setting by N. Porpora)
 Matches base text

Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Se al campo e al rio soggiorna,  
poi torna alla selvetta
colomba amorosetta,
perché l'amato bene
v'ha spene di trovar.

Che v'è periglio sa
di perder libertà
ma dal desio portata
forzata è a ritornar.

 Matches base text

Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Sorte un'umile capanna  
non affanna con vicende:
la difende da potenza
innocenza e povertà.

Sprezzan rustica magione
ambizione e vana spene;
e se Amor talor ci viene
l'accompagna l'onestà.

Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Morirei del partire nel momento,  
di mirarti se il nuovo contento
non fermasse quest'anima in vita.

Quel bel labbro che disse: «Te n' parti»,
disse ancor ch'io potrò rimirarti:
oh, sentenza di speme gradita!

Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Ascoltar no, non ti voglio,

fuggi dall'alma.

Non altri su 'l mio cor
che il mio diletto amor
porti la palma.

Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Una beltà che sa  
farsi de i cor tiranna,
inganna, diletta,
e se v'alletta,
fa quel che vuol di voi, poveri amanti!

E più ingannati siete
dall'esca del piacer,
più a' lacci suoi cadete:
l'inganno, e non il ver, vi fa costanti.

Fortunate pecorelle!  
Pascolate semplicette
vaghi fiori, molli erbette,
l'une all'altre care e belle,
senza inganni, senza affanni,
nella vita e nell'amor.

All'ovile, alla campagna
sempre uguale dolce stato
v'accompagna;
compiacenza porge al fato
l'innocenza in voi del cor.

siete pieni di dolor.

Fidati alla speranza,  
che in breve lontananza
d'amor lusinga il seno;

Cresce così l'ardore
d'una secreta face,
ché l'alma non ha pace
dove il suo ben non è.

di servitù gradita,
che senza te, sua vita,
pace trovar non sa.
