Handel: Alcina, Act 2 - “Mi lusinga il dolce affeto†Dir. William Christie - Geneva, 1990
RUGGIERO
Chi scopre al mio pensiero,
se tradito pur son, o s'odi il vero?
Mi lusinga il dolce affetto
con 'aspetto
del mio bene.
Pur chi sa? temer conviene,
che m'inganni
amando ancor.
Ma se quella fosse mai
che adorai,
e l'abbandono;
infedele, ingrato io sono,
son crudele e traditor.
RUGGIERO
Who discovers to my thought,
if you are betrayed even though they are, or do you know the truth?
The sweet affection flatters me
with 'appearance
of my good.
Whom do you know? temer agrees,
that deceive me
still loving.
But if that ever was
that I adored,
and abandonment;
unfaithful, ungrateful I am,
they are cruel and traditor.
