Oh, temerario Arbace!

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Our translations: FRE

Arbace:
 Oh, temerario Arbace!
 Dove trascorri? Ah, genitor, perdona:
 Eccomi a' piedi tuoi; scusa i trasporti
 D'un insano dolor. Tutto il mio sangue
 Si versi pur, non me ne lagno; e invece
 Di chiamarla tiranna,
 Io bacio quella man che mi condanna.

Artabano:
 Basta, sorgi; purtoppo
 Hai ragion di lagnarti:
 Ma sappi . . . (Oh Dio!) Prendi un abbraccio.

Oh, téméraire Arbace !

Language: French (Français) after the Italian (Italiano)

Arbace
 Oh, téméraire Arbace !
 À quoi penses-tu ? Ah, père, pardonne :
 me voici à tes pieds ; pardonne les transports
 D'une douleur insensée. Même si tout mon sang (** Tulio -> Tutto)
 s'écoule, je ne me plaindrai pas ; et au lieu
 de l'appeler tyrannique,
 je baise cette main qui me condamne.

Artabane
 Assez, lève-toi ; malheureusement
 tu as raison de te plaindre :
 mais sache... Oh, Dieux ! Reçois un baiser.
