Ah! tu non sai (Handel) Eva Zaïcik

Ah! tu non sai from the opera Ottone, re di Germania, HWV 15
by George Frideric Handel (1685-1759)

Eva Zaïcik, mezzo-soprano
Le Consort
Justin Taylor, conductor

Ah! tu non sai
Quant’il mio
Sospira, e sente per lui pietà.

In tanti lai,
Altro non brama il mio dolor
Che a lui si renda la libertà.

TRANSLATION (by Charles Johnston):
Ah, you do not know
How much my heart
Sighs, and feels pity for him.

In such affliction,
My grief desires nothing more
Than for his freedom to be restored.
