Aria ALCINA
**********
Ma quando tornerai
di lacci avvinto il piè,
attendi pur da me
rigore e crudeltà.
E pur, perché tamai,
ho ancor di te pietà.
Ancor placar mi puoi,
mio ben, cor mio; non vuoi?
Mi lascia, infido, e va!
**********
But when you return
with your feet in bonds,
expect from me then
only harshness and cruelty.
And yet because I have loved you,
I still feel compassion for you.
You still have time to placate me,
my love, my darling. Do you not wish to?
Leave me, traitor, and go.

ALCINA
Ma quando tornerai
di lacci avvinto il piè,
attendi pur da me
rigore e crudeltà.
E pur, perché t'amai,
ho ancor dite pietà.
Ancor placar mi puoi,
mio ben, cor mio; non vuoi?
Mi lascia, infido, e va!
English Libretto or Translation:
ALCINA
But when you’ll come back,
With laces studding your feet,
You’ll find in me
rigour and cruelty.
And yet, as I loved you,
I still pity you,
You can still appease me,
my dear, my heart, don’t you wish it?
Leave me, treacherous and get away from me!
