Sì dolce e'l tormento, SV 332
Claudio Monteverdi (1567 - 1643)
Philippe Jaroussky (countertenor)
L'Arpeggiata Ensemble
(remastered)
Sì dolce è'l tormento
Ch'in seno mi sta,
Ch'io vivo contento
Per cruda beltà.
Nel ciel di bellezza
S'accreschi fierezza
Et manchi pietà:
Che sempre qual scoglio
All'onda d'orgoglio
Mia fede sarà.
La speme fallace
Rivolgam' il piè.
Diletto ne pace
Non scendano a me.
E l'empia ch'adoro
Mi nieghi ristoro
Di buona mercè:
Tra doglia infinita,
Tra speme tradita
Vivrà la mia fè.
[Per foco e per gelo
Riposo non hò.
Nel porto del cielo
Riposo avrò.
Se colpo mortale
Con rigido strale
Il cor m'impiagò,
Cangiando mia sorte
Col dardo di morte
Il cor sanerò.]
Se fiamma d'amore
Già mai non sentì
Quel rigido core
Ch'il cor mi rapì,
Se nega pietate
La cruda beltate
Che l'alma invaghì:
Ben fia che dolente,
Pentita e languente
Sospirimi un dì.
~~
So sweet is the torment
That lies in my heart,
That I live happily
In the face of cruel beauty.
In heaven's beauty
Fierce pride may grow bold
Without pity
But always my faith
Will be a rock
Against that wave of pride.
May false hope
Turn back from me
May neither delight
Nor peace descend upon me.
And the cruel woman I adore
Deny me
Merciful relief;
Amidst infinite pain
Amidst broken hope,
My faith shall survive.
[From fire and ice
I will find no repose
Only at the gate of heaven
I shall find repose.
Should the deadly strike
Of an arrow
Injure my heart,
My heart shall heal
By changning my lot
With that arrow of death]
If that unyielding heart
That has captured mine
Has never felt
The flames of love,
If the cruel beauty
That enthralled my soul
Denies me pity,
Then let it be that one day,
Languishing in pain and repentance,
She will sigh for me.
The performance is on YouTube:
