Handel: Alcina, HWV 34, Act 2: "Ombre pallide" (Alcina) - Philippe Jaroussky, Emőke Baráth, Ensemble Artaserse

Ombre pallide,

lo so, mi udite;

d’intorno errate,

e vi celate,

sorde da me:

perché?

perché?

Fugge il mio bene;

voi lo fermate

deh!

per pietate,

se in questa verga,

ch’ora disprezzo,

e voglio frangere,

forza non è.

Ombre pallide,

lo so, mi udite;

d’intorno errate,

e vi celate,

sorde da me:

perché?

perché?

Pale shadows,

I know, you hear me;

erroneous around,

and you hide,

deaf from me:

because?

because?

My good flees;

you stop him

deh!

for pity,

if in this rod,

that I now despise,

and I want to break,

strength is not.

Pale shadows,

I know, you hear me;

erroneous around,

and you hide,

deaf from me:

because?

because?
