O del mio dolce ardor
Aria of Paride from the opera Paride ed Elena (soprano castrato)
Text by Raniero de' Calzabigi (1714-1795)
Set by Christoph Willibald von Gluck (1714-1787)
O del mio dolce ardor bramato oggetto!
O of-the my sweet ardor desired object!
(You are the object of my desire!)
L’aura che tu respiri alfin respiro.
The-air that you breathe at-last I-breathe.
(The air that you breathe at last I may breathe.)
Ovunque il guardo io giro
Wherever the glance I turn
(Wherever I turn my gaze)
Le tue vaghe sembianze Amore in me dipinge,
[the] your lovely features Love for me paints.
(love paints for me your lovely features.)
Il mio pensier si finge le più liete speranze,
The my thoughts they imagine the most happy hopes,
(My thoughts are of the most happy hopes)
E nel desio che così m’empie il petto.
And in-the desire that thus me-fills the breast.
(and in the desire that fills my heart)
Cerco te, chiamo te, spero e sospiro!
I-seek you, I-call you, I-hope and I-sigh!
(I seek you, I call you, I hope and I sigh!)
