Zoroastro

Sorge infausta una procella
che oscurar fa il cielo e il mare,
splende fausta poi la stella
che ogni cor ne fa goder.
Può talor il forte errare,
ma risorto dall'errore,
quel che pria gli diè dolore
causa immenso il suo piacer.

English translation

An inauspicious storm rises,
darkening sky and sea,
but then a propitious star shines
and makes all hearts rejoice.
Sometimes a strong man can err,
but when he has seen the error of his ways,
what once brought him sorrow
causes him boundless delight.

Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:

Aria: Zoroastro
Sorge infausta una procella, che oscurar fa il cielo e mare
splende fausta poi la stella
che ogni cor ne fa goder.

Può talor il forte errare, ma risorto dall'errore,
quel che pria gli diè dolore, causa immenso il suo poter.

English Libretto or Translation:

Aria: Zoroastro
Rough tempests arise which obscure heaven and seas.
A brighter star does then impart its rays
and gladdens every heart.

The strong may often err, but when they see their error,
What was once a source of woe, then turns to joy.
