Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:
Aria Cesare
Se in fiorito ameno prato l'augellin tra fiori e fronde si nasconde,
fa più grato il suo cantar. Se così Lidia vezzosa spiega ancor notti canore, più graziosa
fa ogni core innamorar.
English Libretto or Translation:
Aria Cesare
If in flowery pleasant meadow the augellin among flowers and fronds is hidden,
his singing is more grateful. If so, Lidia Vezzosa explains even the most graceful singing nights
makes every core fall in love.
