Son qual stanco pellegrino (Handel) Theodora Baka

Son qual stanco pellegrino from the opera Arianna in Creta, HWV 32
by George Frideric Handel (1685-1759)

Theodora Baka, mezzo-soprano
Orchestra of Patras
George Petrou, conductor

Son qual stanco pellegrino,
che nel dubbio suo cammino
muove incerto, errando il piè.

Ma se poi si fa sua scorta,
face, o stella, si conforta
e smarrito più non è.

I am like some weary traveler
who, uncertain of his path,
hesitates and stumbles.

But if he finds a lamp or star
to guide him,
he takes heart
and then is lost no more.
