Claudio Monteverdi, "Pur ti miro," from L'incoronazione di Poppea (The Coronation of Poppaea), 1643, Sung by Tania S. Smith, soprano.
Pur ti miro, Pur ti godo,
Pur ti stringo, Pur t'annodo,
Più non peno, Più non moro,
O mia vita, o mio tesoro.
Io son tua, Tuo son io,
Speme mia, dillo, dì,
Tu sei pur, speme mia
L'idol mio, dillo, dì,
Tu sei pur, Sì, mio ben,
Sì, mio cor, mia vita, sì.
[I adore you, I embrace you,
I desire you, I enchain you,
no more grieving, no more sorrow,
O my dearest, O my beloved.
I am yours, O my love,
tell me so, you are mine,
mine alone, O my love.
Feel my heart, see my love, see.]
