    Vincenzo Bellini: I Capuleti e i Montecchi: Act I. "Oh!

    Quante volte"

    Eccomi in lieta vesta... eccomi adorna... Behold me decked out


    Come vittima all'ara. Oh! almen potessi like a victim on the altar. Oh if only I could
    Qual vittima cader dell'ara al piede! fall like a victim at the foot of the altar!
    O nuzïali tede, Oh nuptial torches,
    Abborrite così, così fatali so hated, so fateful,
    Siate, ah! siate per me faci ferali. ah! would that you were the tapes of my doom.
    Ardo... una vampa, un foco I burn, a blaze, a fire
    Tutta mi strugge. all my torment.

    Un refrigerio ai venti io chiedo invano. - In vain I call on the winds to cool me.
    Ove se'tu, Romeo? Where are you Romeo?
    In qual terra t'aggiri? In what lands do you wander
    Dove, dove invïarti i miei sospiri? Where, where shall I send them,
    where my sighs where to?

    Oh! quante volte, Oh! How much time,


    Oh! quante ti chiedo Oh! How often I beg you!
    Al ciel piangendo! the sky weeps
    Con quale ardor t'attendo, with the passion of my waiting
    E inganno il mio desir! And delude my desires!
    Raggio del tuo sembiante To me the light of day
    Parmi il brillar del giorno: ah! is like the flash of your presence
    L'aura che spira intorno ah! the air that winds around
    Mi sembra un tuo sospir. is my longings.

    Behold me decked out


    like a victim on the altar. Oh if only I could
    fall like a victim at the foot of the altar!
    Oh nuptial torches,
    so hated, so fateful,
    ah! would that you were the tapes of my doom.
    I burn, a blaze, a fire
    all my torment.
    In vain I call on the winds to cool me.
    Where are you Romeo?
    In what lands do you wander
    Where, where shall I send them,
    where my sighs where to?

    Oh! How much time,


    Oh! How often I beg you!
