Lasciatemi morire! E che volete voi che mi conforte in così dura sorte, in così gran martire? Lasciatemi morire! 2. O Teseo, o Teseo mio, sì che mio ti vo’ dir, ché mio pur sei, benché t’involi, ahi crudo! agli occhi miei. Volgiti, Teseo mio, volgiti, Teseo, o Dio! Volgiti indietro a rimirar colei che lasciat'ha per te la patria e il regno, e ’n queste arene ancora, cibo di fere dispietate e crude, lascerà l’ossa ignude. O Teseo, o Teseo mio, se tu sapessi, o Dio! Se tu sapessi, ohimè!, come s’affanna la povera Arianna, forse, forse pentito rivolgeresti ancor la prora al lito. Ma con l’aure serene tu te ne vai felice, et io qui piango. A te prepara Atene liete pompe superbe, et io rimango cibo di fere in solitarie arene. Tu l’uno e l’altro tuo vecchio parente stringerai lieto, ed io più non vedrovvi, o madre, o padre mio! 3. Dove, dov'è la fede, che tanto mi giuravi? Così ne l’alta sede tu mi ripon degli avi? Son queste le corone onde m’adorni il crine? Questi gli scettri sono, queste le gemme e gl’ori? Lasciarmi in abbondono a fera che mi stracci e mi divori? O Teseo, o Teseo mio, lascerai tu morire, invan piangendo, invan gridando aita, la misera Arianna ch'a te fidossi e ti die' gloria e vita? 4. Ahi, che non pur risponde! Ahi, che più d’aspe è sordo a’ miei lamenti! O nembi, o turbi, o venti, sommergetelo voi dentr’a quell’onde! Correte, orche e balene, e delle membra immonde empiete le voragini profonde! Che parlo, ahi! Che vaneggio? Misera, ohimè! Che chieggio? O Teseo, o Teseo mio, non son, non son quell’io, non son quell’io che i feri detti sciolse: Parlò l’affanno mio, parlò il dolore; Parlò la lingua sì, ma non già ‘l core. [English translation by Francesco Campelli] 1. Let me die! And what do you think can comfort me in such harsh fate, in such great suffering? Let me die! 2. Oh Theseus, oh my Theseus, for I want to call you mine, for mine you still are, cruel one, even though you flee from my eyes. Turn back, my Theseus, turn back, Theseus, oh God! Turn back to gaze on her who abandoned her country and kingdom just for you, and who will leave her bare bones on these sands as food for merciless wild beasts. Oh Theseus, oh my Theseus, if you only knew, oh god! Alas, if you only knew how terribly scared poor Ariadne is, perhaps you would relent and point your prow back to the shore. But you sail merrily on gentle breezes, while I cry here. Athens
