ΤΑ ΒΑΣΑΝΑ ΤΟΥ ΕΡΩΤΑ

Henry Purcell (1659-1695)

What a Sad Fate is Mine

Ω, τι θλιβερή που είναι η μοίρα μου!

["Henry Purcell-O Solitude & Songs" (Naïve 2007)]
Il Seminario Musicale
Gérard Lesne~Alto

What a sad fate is mine,

My love is my crime;

Or why should she be,

More easy and free

To all than to me?

But if by disdain

She can lessen my pain,

'Tis all I implore,

To make me love less,

Of herself to love more.
