Singer: Ewa Podles

Though known mainly for her Baroque works, Podleś's repertoire ranges from Handel's Giulio Cesare (Cesare) to songs by Shostakovich.

Lyrics & English Translation

destroy enchantments,
if you want me to boast
of giving you proof of love.

Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:

Aria: Orlando
Fammi combattere, mostre e tifei,
novi trofei se vuoi dal mio valor.

Muraglie abbatere, disfare incanti,
se vuoi ch'io vanti darti prove d'amor.

English Libretto or Translation:

Aria: Orlando
Go bid me fight monsters and beasts,
new trophies, if you want, of my love.

Battlements to overturn, spells to unbind,
If you want me to prove my love to you.
