Handel: Un pensiero nemico di pace, from Trionfo del Tempo. Amanda Forsythe & Voices of Music

Un pensiero nemico di pace
fece il Tempo volubile edace
e con l’ali la falce gli diè.
Nacque un altro leggiadro pensiero
per negare si rigido impero
onde il Tempo, più Tempo non è.
—Benedetto Pamphili

A thought, the enemy of peace
Caused fleeting Time to be greedily devoured
And lent him his wings and scythe.
Then another, lighter thought occurs,
to deny the rigid rule,
Then Time itself is no more.

Handel: Tu del Ciel ministro eletto (Trionfo del Tempo);
Amanda Forsythe & Voices of Music 4K


Pure del Cielo intelligenze eterne,
che vera scuola a ben amare aprite,
udite, angeli, udite il pianto mio,
e se la Verità dal Sole eterno
tragge luce immortale, e a me lo scopre,
fate che al gran desio rispondan l’opre.
Tu del Ciel ministro eletto
non vedrai più nel mio petto
voglia infida, o vano ardor.
E se vissi ingrata a Dio
tu custode del cor mio
a lui porta il nuovo cor.
Tu del Ciel....
—Benedetto Pamphili

Pure and eternal spirits of heaven
who teach the art of true love
hear me, angels, hear my cries,
and as Truth from the ever-lasting Sun
brings eternal light, so I may receive illumination,
let my great desire be measured in my work.
You, the chosen minister of Heaven,
shall see no more in my heart
a faithless wish or vain passion.
And though I lived without thanks to God,
may you, the guardian of my heart,
bring to Him a new heart.
You, the chosen minister....
