Aria BRADAMANTE
**********
Vorrei vendicarmi
del perfido cor,
amor dammi l armi
mappresta il furor.
Sei barbaro, ingrato,
ver chi per te langue;
ma prendi, spietato,
se vuoi anche il mio sangue.
**********
I long to be avenged
on his faithless heart,
may love give me
weapons and fury.
You are brutal and merciless
towards her who longs for you;
but, merciless man, you may take
even my life if you so wish.
**********
BRADAMANTE
Crudel tu mi disacci, e pur son quella.
Vorrei vendicarmi
del perfido cor,
amor dammi l'armi,
m'appresta il furor.
Sei barbaro, ingrato,
ver chi per te langue;
ma prendi, spietato,
se vuoi anche il mio sangue.
BRADAMANTE
Crudel you disarm me, and yet I am that.
I would like to take revenge
of the perfidious cor,
love give me arms,
he gives me the furor.
You are barbarian, ungrateful,
ver who langue for you;
but take, ruthless,
if you want my blood too.
