Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:

Aria: Dorinda
O care parolette, o dolci sguardi!
Sebben siete bugiardi, tanto vi crederò

Ma poi, che far potrò,
allor che troppo tardi io vi conoscerò?

English Libretto or Translation:

Aria: Dorinda
Oh charming words, sweet glances!
Although you are lies, I would still believe you.

But what can I do,
When too late I have discovered the deception?
