Dove son? Qual mi desta
 (Sung text for setting by G. Mayr)
 Matches base text
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  ENG
Recitativo (Palmira Princess):
 Dove son? Qual mi desta
 Sì fatal cangiamento...
 Nuovo senso d'affanno
 e di spavento?
 Io più padre non ho,
 non ho più sposo!
 Zamori, Ah, dove sei?
          Karibbo! ... Oh dei! ....
 Lungi da ciò che aborro,
 in vil servaggio
 a mille stragi esposta,
 d'un vincitor feroce
 che m'insidia l'onore:
 Più che lo sdegno,
 temo il suo amore!

Aria:
 Ah! Priva del caro sposo,
 Lungi dal padre amato,
 in sì penoso stato,
 Il cor non ha riposo.
 Resister più non sa!

 Se il barbaro rigore
 Non può cangiar la sorte
 Ah! Venga almen la morte
 e tolga questo core
 a tanta crudeltà.

 Zamori! ... Padre! ...
 Dove siete? ... Oh dio! ...
 In sì penoso stato
 Il cor non ha riposo
 Resister più non sa.

 Se il barbaro rigore
 Non può cangiar la sorte
 Ah! Venga almen la morte
 e tolga questo core
 da tanta crudeltà.

    Set to music by Giovanni Simone Mayr (1763? - 1845), "Dove son? Qual mi desta"
