“Vieni, vieni in questo seno”

La Rosinda (1651) Act III, Scene 5
Francesco Cavalli (1602-1676)

Hana Blažíková, soprano
L'Arpeggiata & Christina Pluhar

Nerea:
Vieni, vieni in questo seno,
che sereno
già t’accolse entro il suo latte.
Le sue, caro,
mamme intatte,
se già manna a te stillaro,
da quei fini
lor rubini,
vo’, ch’ambrosia or ti zampillino.
Si tranquillino,
mio placato, e bel Polluce,
le mie sorti alla tua luce.

Come, come to my bosom,
which has welcomed you before
to its milky whiteness.
Beloved, if once
my untouched breasts
gave you manna
from those fine
rubies of theirs,
I wish they would now well with ambrosia for you.
Calm yourself, relent
my handsome Pollux,
my happiness lies in you.
(Libretto by Giovanni Faustini)
