Un momento di contento
Dolce rende a un fido amante

Love alone can find in sorrow
balm for its pains, and heal
the wounds it has inflicted.

Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:

ORONTE
M'inganna, me n'avveggo,
e pur ancor l'adoro.
Se ben mi fu crudel, è 'I mio tesoro.

Un momento di contento
dolce rende a fido amante
tutto il pianto che versò.
Suole amore dal dolore
tirar balsamo alle pene,
a sanar, chi pria piagò.

English Libretto or Translation:

ORONTE
M'inganna, I wake up,
and even still I love it.
If I was very cruel, it is' My darling.

A moment of contentment
sweet makes you trust lover
all the cry he shed.
Soles love from pain
bring balm to the penis,
in sanar, who pria plagiarized.
