from The Marriage of Figaro 费加罗婚礼
by W. A. Mozart
"Let all be forgiven. Let all hearts proclaim the healing power of love!"
Mozart's magnificent opera is rich with humanity, humor, and tenderness.
Every subtle nuance can be enjoyed in this dramatic and witty English translation.
In Italian
Porgi, amor
qualche ristoro
al mio duolo
a'miei sospir!
O mi rendi
il mio tesoro,
o mi lascia almen morir!
In English
Act II, #10 Countess: "Porgi amor..."
"God above, hear my prayer. Ease my pain and grant me peace.
Oh, return the love I've cherished, or give my aching heart release.
Oh, please let this torment cease!
Tell me why his love has faded. Let me know in what way I
can win back the man I married. God of love, heed my cry.
Oh, heed my cry.
If my love is lost forever, then take pity and let me die
Leaf Nov. 2011 in U.S.
