Opera by Antonio Vivaldi (1678 - 1741)

Come suol la navicella
 (Sung text for setting by A. Vivaldi)
 Matches base text

Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Come suol la navicella
tra le Sirti e la procella
sospirar l'amato lido,
tal si lagna il tuo bel cor.

Gran nocchiero è il dio di Gnido,
ma nel mare della speme
a fugar l'aure serene
move i nembi reo timor.

La timida cervetta,

in mezzo a tanti inganni
errando vado ognor,
confusa dal timor
che il sen m'infesta.

Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Ho nel seno un doppio ardore  
di speranza e di timore,

d'una speme menzognera,
crudo amor, irato cielo,
più resistere non so.

 Matches base text

Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Io sembro appunto  
quell'augelletto,
che alfin scampò
da quella rete,
che ritrovò
nascosta tra le fronde.

Pur alfin sciolto,
solo soletto
volando va.
E libero non sa
donar pace al suo cuor,
se nel passato impegno
ei si confonde.

Liete voci, amiche trombe,

nacque a un punto e l'abbellì...
e di gioia dolce amore
poi lo sparse e lo nutrì.
