Let me weep
over my cruel fate,
and long

May grief

for my sufferings.

I used this in my wedding without the singer for the bridal procession. Only found out years later what the words mean! Not great expression for a wedding as this is essentially mourning a cruel fate and longing for freedom! In my defense I heard it first from another setting from Handels Il trionfo del Tempo e del Disinganno. I still think it makes the perfect bridal procession. It has a magisterial and stately feeling but also a femininity and vulnerability. There’s no texture to the music - just these raw chords waltzing down a predetermined path. It’s a sarabande - a slow, slow dance adding to the stately sadness. I’m not down on marriage by the way but this moment is supposed to be the emotional climax of the ceremony showing the very passage of life from a state of freedom to a state of unity. This music expresses that so perfectly.
MUY HERMOSO
So beautiful~~
Muito lindo
yes it does, thank you Bresso. I'm a writer so I look for 'exact' wording ..but as anyone who's bilingual or multilingual, word's rarely translate 'exactly'...I read 'Lascia' as 'leave me to' almost like 'allow me to'...but your translation of 'let me cry' is damn close and probably the best way to say it. Thanks again. :)
I dream this song tonight
fantastico
....And so we now all know that way back then...people were all depressed...because human nature through out centuries, it never changes.... Loved it anyways Ermz :-)
baroque tuning: A = 415
che meraviglia, beh sulla musica non c'erano dubbi che fosse stupenda, è di Handel, ma anche la soprano, canta molto, molto bene, però mai come l'interpretazione (anche se si tratta di un falso ovviamente) del Grande Farinelli, nel film Farinelli voce regina.
preciosa
Super
This is the Italian of the XVIII century, the sense is "Let me regret my cruel destiny"; the verb PIANGA is transitive
...che va dicendo a l'anima: sospira.
There are of course many similarities with Italian and French.I studied french for many years in high school and grew up in an Italian speaking home. I think Salantraks response (regardless of if it's exactly correct or not) was well considered. As the person who asked the question, I appreciate the response regardless :)
This aria is interpreted by Sandrine Piau, a French soprano. There are no castrati nowadays, as the practice to castrate boys was, thank God, outlawed more than 2 centuries ago. :-)
All this people talking about my language... maybe i'm stupid... but it makes me proud.

How tricky. Thanks for the info, but actually it is only a half step. I will leave my purist ball in the garage this time. I usually check the keys, but neither do I know about this singer. I was actually testing to see if I wanted to add it to my playlist.
This is E Major though in a low pitch, it almost sounds like E.

Today's pitch (A=440Hz) is a semitone higher than the one (of many) used during the 18th century (A=415Hz) [in France A=392Hz, a whole tone lower], so the original key is F Major, not E Major.
@koeien9939

Baroque tuning is to A415, which is a semitone lower than A440, which is pretty much the standard tuning these days. So going according to the tuning Handel would have used, it is still in F major, just that our ears are accustomed to having A tuned to 440, making us perceive this as E major
this song is interpreted by a boy called casttrato. its amazing!!!

Absolutely not! You cannot translate litterally, the sense is "Let me regret my cruel destiny"; the verb PIANGA is transitive.
wow buddy, if that's what you call a 'guess' ....I'm even more impressed! :) So is this French or Italian?? I thought it's Italian ..no? This has got to be one of the most impressive intelligent responses I've got on youtube comments ever, much thanks and respect salan :)

è italiano. Comunque tutte queste somiglianze tra italiano e francese non ci sono. Sono lingue romanze entrambe, ma derivano da ceppi differenti. Poi nel canto l'italiano è una lingua particolarmente apprezzata, per la pronuncia delle vocali.

Being an Australian born Italian (who isn't very fluent AT ALL) in my people's mother tongue. I read ''Lascia ch'io pianga' as 'leave me to cry' or more like 'leave me alone to cry'. I've read online it means 'when he leaves I cry'. Google translate gives us 'let me weep' which isn't bad considering its google translate after all :P ) does Anyone actually KNOW the exact wording? I'd ask my family, except its 5am here in Australia, 9pm in Italy, none of my family there are online.

Anyone else bothered by the fact that the music given for the vocalist is just a repeat of the first half and doesn't match what's sung in the second half?

Jill Woodhams typically the singer will interpolate in the second half of a da capo aria. But yes it is very different in this performance.
