Translation Trashbin - 4. Se il vuoi saper

What a great piece.. good on it's own.. even better with the music!  Thanks for sharing this AC ! 

Just made a short visit and found this. What a gem you bring to life, and you won my heart. Molto bravo!

This will give you a taste of this wonderful opera 

Great poem ... the opera looks like fun! Thanks AC. 

You made an interesting piece again.

Your translation does not have the "darker" tone of the original. Was that intentional?

Just wonderful, AC.... 

Thank you.  

Because of you I found something I would not have read. Thank you.

Yes. That's why this is called a trashbin. I make no claim to any sort of precision with these performance translations. 

As always, the poet's work has already been translated by the composer. My job, as I see it, is to bring the intent of the combination of music and lyrics alive for the audience. It should always seem natural and not 'smell of translation.'  Here, Amore's performance (throughout the entire score) has nothing dark about him; insistent, yes. Cupid insists all, included the maiden-zone clutching god Diana, melt under the heat of love     

Thanks for the comments, and thanks for the 'like.'

*bows* Mille grazie

I have to get up enough courage (and time) to tackle an entire opera... Will The Grove of Diana be the first....?

Thanks again, Parker.

Thanks, Mike! The video I posted in the comments section is the one I have on DVD. It's a great performance, and I appreciate that Cupid is played by a guy so his flirting with the other men comes across as the poet intended   

Thanks again

Thanks, Dugh. I appreciate your thoughts. Sharing is important; I generally learn about stuff I've never heard of either on GA. We have a strong community here.

Thanks again!

Thanks for providing more context.

I quoted "darker", because just in the part you selected there is a threat of hurt for not believing in love.
