A questo seno, deh!
Vieni, idolo mio. Quanti timori,
Quante lacrime, oh Dio,
Costi alla sposa tua.
Dunque tu vivi. Oh contento! Oh certezza!
Oh premio! Oh speme! Oh amor! Numi clementi,
Nell'offrirmi, pietosi, un sì bel dono,
Tutto il vostro rigore io vi perdono.
Aria
Or che il ciel a me ti rende,
Cara parte del mio cor,
La mia gioia, ah, non comprende
Chi non sa che cosa è amor!
Sono all'alma un grato oggetto
Le sue barbare vicende,
Ed in sen dolce discende
La memoria del dolor.

To this heart, ah!
Language:
English
Recitative:
To this heart, ah!
Come, my idol. How many fears,
How many tears, oh God,
You have cost your spouse.
So you are alive. O happiness! O certainty!
O reward! O hope! O love! Merciful gods,
By bestowing on me, O lenient ones, such a beautiful gift,
You make me forgive all your rigors.
Aria:
Now that Heaven has brought you back to me,
You cherished part of my heart,
No one, Ah, can understand my joy
Who does not know what love is!
To my soul, your barbarous adventures
Turn into an object of gratitude
As from my heart sweetly goes away
The memory of my pain.
