Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:


SCENA VI
Elettra sola

ELETTRA
Estinto è Idomeneo? …Tutto a' miei danni,
Tutto congiura il ciel. Può a suo talento
Idamante disporre
D'un impero, e dei cor, e a me non resta
Ombra di speme? A mio dispetto, ahi lassa!
Vedrò, vedrà la Grecia a suo gran scorno
Una schiava Troiana di quel soglio,
E del talamo a parte… In vano Elettra
Ami l'ingrato … e soffre
Una Figlia d'un re, ch'ha re vassalli,
Che una vil schiava aspiri al grande acquisto?…
Oh sdegno! oh smanie! oh duol!… più non resisto.

English Libretto or Translation:


SIXTH SCENE
Electra alone

ELECTRA
Is Idomeneo dead? … Heaven conspires
to cross me in everything. Idamante can,
at his will, dispose of an empire
and of his heart; and shall no shadow of hope
remain for me? Unfortunate and unhappy that I am,
I shall see, and Greece will see, to its shame,
a Trojan slave share the throne
and the bridal bed … In vain, Electra,
you love this ingrate …
Shall the daughter of a king, who has kings as vassals
suffer a lowly slave to aspire to these great honours?
Shame! Fury! Grief! I can bear it no more!
