Pur ti miro (Monteverdi) Nuria Rial & Philippe Jaroussky

Pur ti miro, pur ti godo
a duet from the opera L'incoronazione di Poppea (SV 308)
by Claudio Monteverdi (1567-1643)

Nuria Rial & Philippe Jaroussky
L' Arpeggiata under Christina Pluhar

According to Monteverdi scholar Ellen Rosand, “Pur ti miro" might not have been written by Claudio Monteverdi, but instead by Benedetto Ferrari (ca. 1603-1681).

Pur ti miro, pur ti godo,
Pur ti stringo, pur t'annodo ;
Più non peno, più non moro,
O mia vita, o mio tesoro.
Io son tua, tuo son io,
Speme mia, dillo, di.
Tu sei pur l'idolo mio,
Si, mio ben, si, mio cor, mia vita, si.

I gaze upon you, I desire you,
I embrace you, I enchain you ;
no more grieving, no more dying,
o my life, o my beloved.
I am yours, yours am I,
my hope, tell it, tell.
You are truly my idol,
yes, my love, yes, my heart, my life, yes.
