Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:

Sgombra è la sacra selva,
compiuto il rito.
Sospirar non vista alfin poss'io,
qui... dove a me s'offerse la prima
volta quel fatal Romano,
che mi rende rubella al tempio,al Dio..
Fosse l'ultima almen! Vano desio!
Irresistibil forza qui mi trascina...
e di quel caro aspetto il cor si pasce
e di sua cara voce l'aura che spira
mi ripete il suono.

Deh! proteggimi, o Dio!
deh! proteggimi, proteggimi,
o Dio, proteggimi:
perduta, perduta io son,
gran Dio, abbi pietà ,
perduta, perduta io son.

English Libretto or Translation:

Cleared is the sacred forest,
finished the rite.
To crave the sight, at last I can,
here...where for the first time the
fatal Roman offered himself to me,
that makes me a traitor to the temple, to the god...
If only it had been the last time! Vain desire!
Irresistable force here me drags...
and on that dear face the heart feeds itself...
and of his dear voice the breeze that blows
to me repeats the sound.

Protect me, o God!
Protect me, protect me,
o God, protect me:
lost I am,
great God, have pity,
lost, lost I am.
