Ah mio cor, schernito sei! (Handel) Roberta Invernizzi

“Ah mio cor, schernito sei!” from Alcina, HWV 34 (1735)
George Frideric Handel (1685-1759)

Ah mio cor, schernito sei!
Stelle! Dei!
Nume d’amore!
Traditore!
T’amo tanto;
puoi lasciarmi sola in pianto,
oh Dei! Perchè?

Ma, che fa gemendo Alcina?
Son regina, è tempo ancora:
resti o mora,
peni sempre, o torni a me.

Ah mio cor, schernito sei!, ecc.

Ah, my heart! You are being mocked!
Ye stars and gods!
God of Love!
Treacherous one!
I adore you so;
and yet, you can abandon me in tears!
O ye gods! Why?

But, what has set Alcina wailing?
I am Queen, and there is still time:
remain here or die,
for ever agonize, or come back to me.

Ah, my heart, etc.
