Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:
ARSACESo che Ninia morì, so che di Nino
Eguale, miserando fu il destino,
So che Azema salvai da fato estremo;
Non conosco, non temo
Rivale che contrasta
Gli affetti miei... So che l'adoro, e basta.
Bella immago degli Dei,
Solo Azema adoro in lei:
E più caro a me d'un soglio
È l'impero del suo cor.
ASSUR
Dell'Assiria a' semidei
Aspirar sol lice a lei:
D'uno scita il folle orgoglio
Mal contende a me quel cor.
ARSACE
Questo scita in cor non cede
Ad assiro semidio.
ASSUR
Quell'ardir, quel fasto eccede:
Chi son io rammenta omai;
Amo Azema...
English Libretto or Translation:
ArsacesI know Ninia died, I know that of Nino
Equal, miserable was destiny,
I know that Azema saved from extreme fate;
I do not know, I do not fear
Rivale that contrasts
My affections ... I know I love it, and that's it.
Beautiful picture of the Gods,
Only Azema I love her:
And more dear to me than a throne
It is the empire of his cor.
ASSUR
Of Assyria to 'demigods
Aspirar solice to you:
One footsteps the crazy pride
Mal contends to me that cor.
Arsaces
This scia in the cor does not yield
To assyrian demigod.
ASSUR
That ardor, that splendor exceeds:
Who am I remembering omai;
I love Azema ...
