from the new recording of the complete opera by George Petrou
with Mary-Ellen Nesi (Sesto) and Orchestra of Patras

Libretto by Nicola Francesco Haym, after Giacamo Francesco Bussani

"Svegliatevi nel core
furie d'un alma offesa
a far d'un traditor

aspra vendetta!

L'ombra del genitore
accorre a mia
difesa
e dice: a te il rigor

Figlio si aspetta."

Translation:
Awaken in my heart
The wrath of an offended soul

So I may wreak upon a traitor

My bitter vengeance!

The ghost of my father

Hastens to my defense
Saying, "From you, my son

Ferocity is expected"
