Le martyre de Saint Jean Népomucène

Oratorio by Nicola Antonio Porpora (1686 - 1768)

View original-language texts alone: Il martirio di San Giovanni Nepomuceno

Vanne nel vicin tempio
 (Sung text for setting by N. Porpora)
 Matches base text
Language: Italian - Sicilian 
Vanne nel vicin tempio ove s'adora,
Quella che del suo Dio fu madre e sposa,
A Lei porgi pietosa calda preghiera,
A Lei che sempre è interesa à consolar,
Chi ben le chiede aita e che sassi di lor
scudo e difesa,
Vanne ed'humile orando ivi ti fia svelato,
Quel che a s'avicina ultimo fato.

Fremer da lunge io sento,
L'onda sdegnosa e il vento,
Che la procella han desta,
Onde può legno tuo restare assorto.

Volgi tuoi lumi à quella,
del mar benigna stella,
che placa ogni tempesta,
E sola scorge i naviganti in porto.

Set by Nicola Antonio Porpora (1686 - 1768)
by Annibale Marchese (1686 - 1753)
Va au temple
Language: French (Français) 
Va au temple où s'adore
Celle qui fut mère et épouse de son Dieu,
À elle tends une prière pieuse et fervente,
À elle, toujours disposée à consoler 
Qui demande de l'aide et 
la défense de son bouclier.
Va et priant humblement pour que te soit révélé
Quel ultime sort s'approche .

Depuis longtemps je sens frémir
L'onde dédaigneuse et le vent,
Que la tempête a réveillés,
Où ton bateau peut être absorbé.

Tourne tes yeux vers elle,
Étoile bienveillante de la mer,
Qui apaise toute tempête
Et seule mène les marins au port.
