by Gaetano Sertor

Mia speranza adorata! ‑ Ah, non sai, qual pena sia il doverti
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  FRE
Recitative:
 Mia speranza adorata!
 Ah! troppo è a noi l'ira del ciel funesta;
 L'ultima volta è questa,
 Ch'io ti stringo al mio seno. Anima mia,
 Io più non ti vedrò. 

 (to Sarabes)
 Deh, tu l'assisti, tu per me la consola. 

 Addio, Zemira,
 Ricordati di me! Senti . . . che vedo? . . .
 Tu piangi, o mio tesoro! Oh, quanto accresce
 Quel pianto il mio martir. Chi prova mai
 Stato peggior del mio!
 Addio per sempre, amata sposa, addio!

Aria:
 Ah non sai qual pena sia
 Il doverti, oh Dio! lasciar;
 Ma quel pianto, anima mia
 Fa più grave il mio penar.
 Deh, mi lascia, oh fier momento!
 Cara sposa, ah, ch'io mi sento
 Per l'affanno il cor mancar!
 A quai barbare vicende
 Mi serbaste, avversi Dei,
 Dite voi, se i casi miei
 Non son degni di pietà.
