Non più. Tutto ascoltai, tutto compresi
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Ilia:
 Non più. Tutto ascoltai, tutto compresi.
 D'Elettra e d'Idamante noti sono gli amori,
 al caro imegno omai mancar non dei,
 va, scordati di me, donati a lei.

Idamante:
 Ch'io mi scordi di te? Che a lei mi doni
 Puoi consigliarmi? E puoi voler ch'io viva?

Ilia:
 Non congiurar, mia vita,
 Contro la mia costanza!
 Il colpo atroce mi distrugge abbastanza!

Idamante:
 Ah no, sarebbe il viver mio di morte
 Assai peggior! Fosti il mio primo amore,
 E l'ultimo sarai. Venga la morte!
 Intrepido l'attendo, ma ch'io possa
 Struggermi ad altra face, ad altr'oggetto
 Donar gl'affetti miei,
 Come tentarlo? Ah! di dolor morrei!

 Non temer, amato bene,
 Per te sempre il cor sarà.
 Più non reggo a tante pene,
 L'alma mia mancando va.
 Tu sospiri? o duol funesto!
 Pensa almen, che istante è questo!
 Non mi posso, oh Dio! spiegar.
 Stelle barbare, stelle spieiate,
 Perché mai tanto rigor?
 Alme belle, che vedete
 Le mie pene in tal momento,
 Dite voi, s'egual tormento
 Può soffrir un fido cor!

Assez. J'ai tout entendu, j'ai tout...
Language: French (Français)  after the Italian (Italiano) 
Ilia:
 Assez. J'ai tout entendu, j'ai tout compris.
 D'Électre et d'Idamante les amours sont connus,
 à ce cher devoir tu ne dois jamais manquer,
 va, oublie-moi, donne-toi à elle.

Idamante:
 Que je t'oublie ? de me donner à elle,
 Tu peux me conseiller ? Et tu peux vouloir que je vive ?

Ilia:
 Ne conjure pas, ma vie,
 contre ma constance.
 Ce coup atroce me détruit assez.

Idamante:
Ah non, vivre me serait que la mort
bien pire ! Tu fus mon premier amour,
Et tu seras le dernier. Que vienne la mort !
Intrépide je l'attends, mais que je puisse
Être consumé à un autre feu, à un autre objet
Donner mon affection,
Comment le pouvoir ? ah ! je mourrais de douleur.

Ne crains rien, mon amour,
Mon cœur sera toujours à toi.
Je ne peux plus supporter une telle douleur,
Mon âme me manque.
Tu soupires ? ô deuil funeste !
Pense au moins à ce que signifie cet instant !
Je ne peux pas, ô Dieu, m'expliquer.
Étoiles barbares, étoiles sans pitié,
Pourquoi tant de rigueur ?
Belles âmes, qui voyez
Mes douleurs en un tel moment
Dites-moi si un tourment pareil
peut être supporté par un cœur fidèle !
