Augellin vago e canoro
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  ENG
First aria
 Augellin vago e canoro
 tu sospiri il colle e'l prato
 e pur sei tra lacci d'oro
 dolcemente imprigionato.

Recitative
 Pur senza mai posare
 e l'ali e'l piede sempre
 in perpetui giri
 vago augel ti raggiri, ei tuoi concenti
 sembran note de gioia e son lamenti.

Second aria
 Io t'intendo canoro augelletto,
 vai piangendo la tua servitú,
 e vorresti d'ameno boschetto
 le bell'ombre godere ancor tu.

Recitative
 Ma del tuo duol fatta pietosa, Irene
 scioglie le tue catene,
 con la destra di neve
 apre l'anguste porte
 alla bella prigion dove sei chiuso,
 e tu rapido e lieve
 del primiero volar riprendi l'uso;
 scorri dell'aria i campi e fai ritorno
 sú le cime de faggi e degl'abeti
 a salutar col tuo bel canto il giorno.

Third aria
 Quanto invidio i tuoi bei voli
 augeletto fortunato,
 son anch'io preso e legato
 ma non ho chi mi consoli.
 Mi lamento e grido ogn'ora
 per desio d'esser disciolto,
 ma mi tien tra lacci avvolto
 l'empia Irene e vuol ch'io mora.
