TEXTS & TRANSLATIONS
GEORGE FREDERIC HANDEL (1685-1759)
“Where ‘er you walk” from Semele, HWV 58, Act II, Scene III (1744)
Where’er you walk
Cool gales shall fan the glade
Trees where you sit
shall crowd into a shade
Where’er you tread
The blushing flowers shall rise
And all things flourish
Where’er you turn your eyes
“Và dal furor portata” from Ezio, HWV 29, Act II, Scene IV (1731-1732)
Go! Go, carried away by fury
Reveal the betrayal;
But remember, ungrateful one
Who the traitor is
Uncover the planned deceit
But consider in that moment
That I gave you life
And that you take it from me
Va! Và, dal furor portata,
Palesa il tradimento;
Mà ti sovvenga, ingrata,
Il traditor qual è.
Scopri la frodi ordita,
ma pensa in quel momento,
ch’io ti donai la vita,
che tu la togli a me.
