by Pietro Antonio Domenico Bonaventura Trapassi (1698 - 1782), as Pietro Metastasio

Translation © by Salvador Pila

Vedi quanto t'adoro ancora, ingrato

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Available translation(s): CAT FRE

Vedi quanto [t']¹adoro ancora, ingrato.
Con [un tuo]² sguardo solo
Mi togli ogni difesa, e mi disarmi.
Ed hai cor di tradirmi? e puoi lasciarmi?

Ah! non lasciarmi, no,
Bell' idol mio:
Di chi mi fiderò,
Se tu m'inganni?

Di vita mancherei
Nel dirti addio;
Chè viver non potrei
Fra tanti affanni.

Mira com t'adoro encara, ingrat

Language: Catalan (Català) after the Italian (Italiano)

Mira com t'adoro encara, ingrat,
només amb un esguard teu
em prens totes les defenses i em desarmes.
I tens el cor de trair-me? I després deixar-me?

Ai! No em deixis, no,
bell ídol meu:
de qui em refiaré,
si tu m'enganyes?

La vida em mancarà
al dir-te adéu;
car no podré viure
amb tanta aflicció.
