Le Parnasse en fête

Opera by Georg Friedrich Händel (1685 - 1759)

View original-language texts alone: Parnasso in festa

Dopo d'aver perduto il caro bene
 (Sung text for setting by G. Händel)
 Matches base text
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Dopo d'aver perduto il caro bene
saria grande il conforto,
se si perdesse ancora
la memoria funesta;
ma oh dei! questa pur resta,
e chi fu nell'amor sÌ fortunato
non può a gli Elisi ancor'esser' beato.

Ho perso il caro ben',
son l'ombre il mio seren,
pietà del mio dolor.
S'unisca al mio martir,
il vostro bel soffrir,
soccorso a questo cor,
soccorso al mio dolor.

Après avoir perdu ma bien-aimée
Language: French (Français) 
Après avoir perdu ma bien-aimée,
ce sera un grand réconfort pour moi
de perdre aussi
le funeste souvenir ;
mais, ô dieux, il reste,
et celui qui fut si heureux dans l'amour
ne peut l'être même dans l'Élysée.

J'ai perdu ma bien-aimée,
Les ténèbres sont mon jour,
pitié pour ma douleur.
Qu'à mon martyr s'unisse 
Votre souffrance,
secourez ce cœur,
secourez ma douleur.
