Watch videos with other singers performing Scacciata dal suo nido:
Bertarido Vengo; che in te quello mio cor riposa. (parte Unulfo) Sfoga gli sdegni tuoi, toglimi, irato ciel, vassalli e trono!
Rendi a miei casti affetti Rodelinda fedele, e ti perdono.
Aria di Bertarido Scacciata dal suo nido Sen vola in altro lido, né sparge mai querelle, la rondinella. Del fato non si lagna, se ha seco la compagna chi gli è sempre fedele, e sempre è bella. Scacciata...etc.
English Libretto or Translation:
Bertarido Lead on, my friend, I soon will follow thee, my heart reposes all its trusts in thee. (Exit Unulfo) Ye heav`ns! If your dread anger be upon my head, take, take for ever, if you please, my throne, and take my subjects fro m me, take them all, do but restore my Rodelinda to me, chaste are my hopes and faithful are my wishes, take all beside, and prostrate, I will thank you. The swallow, driven from her nest to other shores retires. But, if with her companion blest, she no more bliss desires, pleased with her love, she never can complain, but joyful builds the little house again. The swallow etc.
