Aria
Ma tu tremi, o mio tesoro!
Ma tu palpiti, cor mio!
Non tremar, con te son io,
Né d’amor ti parlerò.
Mentre folgori, e baleni
Sarò teco, amata Nice,
Quando il ciel si rassereni,
Nice ingrata, io partirò.

Doch du zitterst, ach, mein Liebling

(Sung text translation for setting by L. Beethoven)

Language: German (Deutsch) after the Italian (Italiano)

 ... 

Aria
Doch du zitterst, ach, mein Liebling!
Doch du bebst, geliebtes Herz.
Keine Furcht, denn ich bin bei dir
und red’ über Liebe nicht.
Bei Gewitter, Blitz und Donner
werd’ ich, Nice, bei dir stehn;
doch sobald der Himmel heiter,
werd’ ich, Undankbare, gehn.
