La Serenata

Song Cycle by Giovanni Battista Bassani (1657 - 1716)

?. Dormi, bella, dormi tu?
 (Sung text)

Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Dormi, bella, dormi tu?
Se dormi sognati
d'esser men cruda
se vegli porgimi
qualche pietà.

Sospiri profondi
tramando dal cor
e tu non rispondi,
ahi, barbaro amor.

Bei lumi rubelli 
chi mai, chi v'apriva?
E tu non favelli,
ahi, barbaro amor.

?. Posate, dormite
 (Sung text)

Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Ah se tu dormi ancora;
e se dormendo tante pene mi dai,
non destarti giammai.
Che non saria bastante
a soffrirti svegliata un core amante.

Posate, dormite, pupile,
pupile gradite, pupile gradite,
e il vostro rigore
lasci ancora posare un stanco core.

Posate, dormite, pupile,
pupile adorate, pupile adorate,
e in placido oblio
dorma il vostro furor,
ch'io parto. Addio, addio.
