Priva son d'ogni conforto (Handel) Stephanie Blythe

Priva son d'ogni conforto from the opera Giulio Cesare in Egitto, HWV 17
by George Frideric Handel (1685-1759)

Stephanie Blythe, mezzo-soprano
Ensemble Orchestral de Paris
John Nelson, conductor

Priva son d'ogni conforto,
e pur speme di morire
per me misera non v'è.

Il mio cor, da pene assorto,
è già stanco di soffrire,
e morir si niega a me.

TRANSLATION:
I am bereft of all comfort,
yet there is no hope of death
for me, wretched that I am.

My heart, consumed with sorrow,
is weary of suffering,
yet death denies itself to me.
