SCENA III

Idomeneo solo

Recitativo

IDOMENEO
Qual mi conturba i sensi
Equivoca favella? ... ne' suoi casi
Qual mostra a un tratto intempestiva gioia
La Frigia principessa?... E quei, ch'esprime
Teneri sentimenti per il prence,
Sarebber forse... ahimè! ...
Sentimenti d'amor, gioia di speme?...
Non m'inganno. Reciproco è l'amore.
Troppo, Idamante, a scior quelle ritorte
Sollecito tu fosti... ecco il delitto,
Che in te punisce il ciel... Sì, sì, a Nettuno
Il figlio, il padre, ed Ilia,
Tre vittime saran su l'ara istessa
Da egual dolor afflitte,
Una dal ferro, e due dal duol trafitte.

English Libretto or Translation:


THIRD SCENE
Idomeneo, alone

Recitative
IDOMENEO
How her ambiguous words
disturb my mind! ... Why does
the Phrygian princess suddenly, in her situation,
show such tempestuous joy? She expresses
tender feelings for the prince ...
Could they perhaps be, alas,
feelings of love, the joy of hope? ...
I am not mistaken, their love is mutual.
Idamante, you were too quick
to loose those chains ... This was the crime
for which heaven punishes you ... Yes, there will
be three victims for Neptune on the same altar,
afflicted with like pain –
son, father and Ilia,
one pierced by the knife, two by grief.
