Text (Italian):
No, no, non si speri
No, no, non si speri!
È morta la speme!
Piangete, pensieri!
A bruno vestiti, nel vostro dolore
desiri traditi lasciate il mio core!
Le gioie d'amore son lampi fugaci,
mendaci, leggiere!
Original Text: Giacomo Carissimi
-
No, no, do not be hopeful
No, no, do not be hopeful
Hope is dead!
Weep, thoughts!
Betrayed desires, clothed in mourning because
of your sorrow, leave my heart!
The joys of love are fleeting,
lying, fickle flashes!
English Translation: Martha Gerhart
