Miguel Fleta, "A te, o Cara" I Puritani
Singer: Miguel FletaMiguel Burró Fleta (1897-1938) was an Aragonese operatic tenor. Despite his short stage career, lasting from 1919 to 1935, Fleta has been described as one of the most significant Iberian opera singers of the 20th century. Wiki…
Fleta sings a C natural in this recording. It was not so common to sing the high C sharp in Fleta's day. Any tenor singing the aria down in Italy or Spain today would likely be booed off the stage.

Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:
A te, o cara, amor talora
Mi guidò furtivo e in pianto;
Or mi guida a te d'accanto
Tra la gioia e l'esultar.
Al brillar di sì bell'ora,
Se rammento il mio tormento
Si raddoppia il mio contento,
M'è più caro il palpitar.
English Libretto or Translation:
To you, oh dear one, love at times
lead me furtively and in tears;
now it guides me to your side
in joy and exhultation.
At the radiance of such a beautiful hour
if I renew my torment,
it redoubles my happiness,
'tis more dear the (heart's) beating.
