Affanni del pensier (Handel) Lauren Snouffer

Affanni del pensier from the opera Ottone, re di Germania, HWV 15
by George Frideric Handel (1685-1759)

Lauren Snouffer, soprano
Il Pomo d'Oro
George Petrou, conductor

Affanni del pensier,
un sol momento
datemi pace almen,
e poi tornate.

Ah! che nel mesto sen
io già vi sento
che ostinati la pace a me turbate.

TRANSLATION (by Anthony Hicks):
Torments of my mind,
for at least one moment,
give me some peace,
and then you can return.

Ah! yet in my grieving heart
I still feel you
obstinately disturbing my peace.
