Poppea
Lord, pray do not leave, allow these arms to encircle your neck, as your charms encircle my heart.
Nerone
Poppea, let me go.
Poppea
Lord, pray do not go. Dawn has hardly broken and you who are the incarnation of the sun, my palpable light, and the loving daylight of my life, will you so suddenly part from me? Pray, do not speak of parting: at the bitter sound of that one word ah! I feel my soul perishing, expiring.
Nerone
The nobility of your birth cannot permit Rome to know that we are united, until Ottavia...
Poppea
Until?
Nerone
Until Ottavia has been excluded.
Poppea
is excluded?
Nerone
until Ottavia has been excluded by divorce from me.
Poppea
Go then, my love.
Nerone
With a sigh that come from the depth of my heart, with a kiss, o beloved, and a goodbye: we shall see each other soon, my love.
Poppea
My Lord, you see me always, yet you never see me, for if it is true that I be in your heart, hidden within your breast, I cannot be beheld by your eyes.
Nerone
O beloved eyes of my adored one, fare thee well! Farewell, o my Poppea, my heart, enchantment and my light...
Poppea
Pray, do not speak of parting: at the bitter sound of that one word, ah! I feel my soul perishing, languishing.
Nerone
fear not, you will be with me every hour, shining in my eyes, a goddess in my heart.
Poppea
You will return?
Nerone
Though I depart, yet I stay with you.
Poppea
You will return?
Nerone
my heart from your stars will never be torn.
Poppea
You will return?
Nerone
I cannot live separated from you no more than one could divide a mere speck.
Poppea
You will return?
Nerone
I shall return.
Poppea
When?
Nerone
Very soon.
Poppea
Very soon? You promise me?
Nerone
I swear it.
Poppea
And you will keep your promise?
Nerone
If I come not to you, you will come to me.
Poppea
Farewell, Nero, farewell.
Nerone
Farewell, Poppea, my treasure.

Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:
POPPEASignor, deh non partire,
Sostien che queste braccia
Ti circondino il collo,
Come le tue bellezze
Circondano il cor mio.
NERONE
Poppea, lascia ch'io parta.
POPPEA
Non partir, Signor, deh non partire.
Appena spunta l'alba, e tu che sei
L'incarnato mio sole,
La mia palpabil luce,
E l'amoroso dì della mia vita,
Vuoi sì repente far da me partita ?
Deh non dir de partir,
Che di voce sì amara a un solo accento,
Ahi perir, ahi spirar quest'alma io sento.
NERONE
La nobiltà de' nascimenti tuoi
Non permette che Roma
Sappia che siamo uniti,
In sin ch'Ottavia...
POPPEA
In sin che...
NERONE
...in sin ch'Ottavia non rimane esclusa...
POPPEA
Non rimane...
NERONE
...in sin ch'Ottavia non rimane esclusa
Col repudio da me: vanne, vanne ben mio;
SINFONIA
In un sospir che vien
Dal profondo del sen,
Includo un bacio, o cara, ed un addio:
Si rivedrem ben tosto, idolo mio.
SINFONIA
POPPEA
Signor, sempre mi vedi,
Anzi mai non mi vedi,
Perché s'è ver, che nel tuo cor io sia,
Entro al tuo sen celata,
Non posso da' tuoi lumi esser mirata.
NERONE
Adorati miei rai,
Deh restatevi omai !
Rimanti, o mia Poppea,
Cor, vezzo, e luce mia...
POPPEA
Deh non dir
Di partir,
Che di voce sì amara a un solo accento,
Ahi perir, ahi spirar quest'alma io sento.
NERONE
...Non temer, tu stai meco a tutte l'ore,
Splendor negl'occhi, e deità nel core.
POPPEA
Tornerai ?
NERONE
Se ben io vò
Pur teco io sto.
POPPEA
Tornerai ?
NERONE
...Il cor dalle tue stelle
Mai non si divelle;...
POPPEA
Tornerai ?
NERONE
...Io non posso da te viver disgiunto
Se non si smembra la unità del punto.
POPPEA
Tornerai ?
NERONE
Tornerò.
POPPEA
Quando ?
NERONE
Ben tosto.
POPPEA
Ben tosto,
Me'l prometti ?
NERONE
Te'l giuro.
POPPEA
E me l'osserverai ?
NERONE
E s'a te non verro, tu a me verrai.
POPPEA
Addio...
NERONE
Addio...
POPPEA
Nerone, Nerone, addio...
NERONE
Poppea, Poppea, addio...
POPPEA
...addio, Nerone, addio.
NERONE
...addio, Poppea, ben mio.
SCENA IV
Poppea, Arnalta.
Poppea con Arnalta vecchia sua consigliera
discorre della speranza sua alle grandezze;
Arnalta la documenta, e ammaestra
a non fidarsi tanto de' grandi,
ne di confidar tanto nella Fortuna.
English Libretto or Translation:
POPPEAMr., do not leave,
Sostien that these arms
You surround the neck,
Like your beauties
My heart surrounds me.
NERONE
Poppea, let me leave.
POPPEA
Do not leave, Mr., do not leave.
Just dawn, and you are
The sun my skin,
My palpable light,
And the love day of my life,
Do you want so repent to make me play?
I would not say de partir,
What a bitter voice to a single accent,
Ahi perir, ouch this spirit I feel.
NERONE
The nobility of your births
It does not allow Rome
Know that we are united,
In the early hours ...
POPPEA
Since ...
NERONE
... in sin that Octavia does not remain excluded ...
POPPEA
It does not stay ...
NERONE
... in sin that Octavia does not remain excluded
With repudiation from me: vanne, vanne ben mio;
SYMPHONY
In a sigh that comes
From the depths of the sen,
I include a kiss, or darling, and a goodbye:
It will be seen again very soon, my idol.
SYMPHONY
POPPEA
Mr., you always see me,
Indeed you never see me,
Because it's true, that in your heart I am,
Within your sen hidden,
I can not help you be focused.
NERONE
Adored my rai,
Deh, remain omai!
Remains, or my Poppea,
Cor, habit, and my light ...
POPPEA
Deh, do not say
From partir,
What a bitter voice to a single accent,
Ahi perir, ouch this spirit I feel.
NERONE
... Do not be afraid, you stay with me at all hours,
Splendor negl'occhi, and deity in the core.
POPPEA
Will you come back?
NERONE
If I go well
Even with you I am.
POPPEA
Will you come back?
NERONE
... The cor from your stars
Never do not deviate; ...
POPPEA
Will you come back?
NERONE
... I can not live from you
If the point unit is not dismantled.
POPPEA
Will you come back?
NERONE
I'll come back.
POPPEA
When ?
NERONE
Soon.
POPPEA
Soon,
Do you promise me?
NERONE
I swear.
POPPEA
And will you watch it?
NERONE
And if I do not come to you, you will come to me.
POPPEA
Goodbye...
NERONE
Goodbye...
POPPEA
Nerone, Nero, goodbye ...
NERONE
Poppea, Poppea, goodbye ...
POPPEA
... goodbye, Nero, goodbye.
NERONE
... goodbye, Poppea, my dear.
