Dove sei, amato bene

Recitativo accompagnato
Pompe vane di morte! Menzogne di dolor,
che riserbate il mio volto e'l mio nome,
ed adulate del vincitor superbo il genio altiero:
voi dite, ch'io son morto; ma risponde il mio duol,
che non è vero. (legge l'iscrizione)
"Bertarido fu Re; da Grimoaldo vinto fuggì,
presso degli Unni giace. Abbia l'alma riposo, e'l cener pace."
Pace al cener mio? Astri tiranni!
Dunque fin ch'avrò vita, guerra avrò con gli stenti,
e con gli affanni.
Aria
Dove sei, amato bene!
Vieni, l'alma a consolar!
Sono oppresso da' tormenti
ed i crudeli miei lamenti
sol con te posso bear.

Where are you, my beloved?

I can only bear when I am with you.
