Stephanie Blythe, mezzo-soprano

John Nelson, conductor
Priva son d'ogni conforto,
e pur speme di morire
per me misera non v'è.
Il mio cor, da pene assorto,
è già stanco di soffrire,
e morir si niega a me.
TRANSLATION:
I am bereft of all comfort,
yet there is no hope of death
for me, wretched that I am.
My heart, consumed with sorrow,
is weary of suffering,
yet death denies itself to me.

Priva son d'ogni conforto, e pur speme di morire
per me misera non v'è.
Il mio cor, da pene assorto, è già stanco di soffrire,
e morir si niega a me.

English Libretto or Translation:
Cornelia
Priva is of every comfort, and yet he desires to die
there is no miserable for me.
My heart, from an absorbed penis, is already tired of suffering,
and die dies at me.
