Handel: Partenope, HWV 27, Act 2: "Qual farfalletta gira a quel lume" (Partenope) - Emőke Baráth, Ensemble Artaserse, Philippe Jaroussky

Qual farfalletta gira a quel lume,

È il mio Cupido, le belle piume

Ardendo va.

Quel brio m’alletta;

perché m’è fido,

La mia costanza ogn’altra avanza,

Cangiar non sa.

Qual farfalletta gira a quel lume,

È il mio Cupido, le belle piume

Ardendo va

What little butterfly turns to that light,

It is my Cupid, the beautiful feathers

Burning goes.

That panache entices me;

because I trust him,

My constancy advances each other,

Cangiar does not know.

What little butterfly turns to that light,

It is my Cupid, the beautiful feathers

Burning goes
