ORFEOVi ricorda, o bosch'ombrosi,
De' miei lungh'aspri tormenti,
Quando i sassi ai miei lamenti
Rispondean fatti pietosi?
Dite, allor non vi sembrai
Più d'ogni altro sconsolato?
Or fortuna ha stil cangiato
Et ha volto in festa i guai.
Vissi già mesto e dolente,
Or gioisco, e quegli affanni
Che sofferti ho per tant'anni
Fan più caro il ben presente.
Sol per te, bella Euridice,
Benedico il mio tormento;
Dopo il duol vie più contento,
Dopo il mal vie più felice.
English Libretto or Translation:
ORPHEUSDo you recall, O shady woods,
my long, bitter torments,
when the rocks, their hearts softened,
replied to my laments?
Say, did I not then seem to you
more wretched than any other?
Now Fortune has changed her tune
and turned my woes into rejoicing.
Once I lived in sadness and sorrow;
now I rejoice, and those anxieties
that I have suffered for so many years
make my present happy state more dear.
Through you alone, lovely Eurydice,
I bless my torments;
after sorrow, one is all the more content,
after woe, one is all the happier.
