Need Help With Italian Translation
I have my senior recital coming up this April and I still have some song texts that I can't get a good translation of on my own, so it's time to seek out some help! In particular I'm stuck on this Handel cantata. It's in three movements and I'm pretty sure the texts are only loosely connected from the work I've managed to do. For the most part it seems like it'd be pretty easy, but still I can't figure it out.
![]() ![]() I. Pastorella vagha bella rendi amore (or rendiamore) per amor; Giovenetta vezzosetta, dona mi cara cor per cor. II. Cosi alla bella Nicea Tirsi fedel dicea, quel Tirsi amante, quel Tirsi fedele de tante volto, e tante per sua ninfe condele sparse invan (or maybe sparseinvan) sospiri, e querele distrusse si fratimor, e frasperanza di quella fiera bella che delude la sua costanza, chie de pieta conquest'accenti amorosi e dolenti. III. Solo per voi tra mille mille care pupille arde il cor, Deh rispondete, con dolce faville e meno rigor a tanta fe, a tanto amor. So, hopefully someone out there might know something! ![]()

1. Beautiful shepherd vagha you render love (or rendiamore) for amor; Giovenetta vezzosetta, donates me beloved cor for cor.
2. Cosi to the beautiful Nicea dicea Tirsi fedel, that loving Tirsi, that faithful Tirsi de much face, and many for its nymphs condele scattered invan (or maybe sparseinvan) sighs, and complaints destroyed fratimor, and frasperanza of that beautiful fair that disappoints its costanza, chie de pieta conquest' accents hurting lovings and. 3. For you between thousand thousand beloveds pupille the cor only burns, Deh answers, with cake faville and less rigor to a lot fe, a lot amor. ___________________________________________ Alright... I kinda doubt that will help. Apparently online translation tools still need a bit of work...
