Original text and translations

Italian text Che fai, Dori, che pensi? Avrò mai pace, Pace e letizia avrai. Deh! Dimmi l’hora Quando vedrai dal ciel scender l’aurora. Che fai, Dori, che parti? Avrò mai tregua? Tregua e conforto avrai. Deh! Dimmi il punto Quando Febo da noi Sar’ disgiunto. Fugga dunque la luce, e’l biond’Apollo Tosto i bei raggi asconda, e vien tu sera Vientene via volando anzi ch’io pera.

English translation What are you doing, Doris, what are you thinking? Shall I never know peace? You shall have peace - and joy. Alas, when shall that be? When you see Dawn descend from the sky. What are you doing, Doris, what are you thinking? Shall I never have any respite? You shall have respite - and comfort. Alas, when shall that be? When Phoebus departs from us. Then let the light be gone, and golden-haired Apollo: hide soon the resplendent rays, and come, evening, come, fly away before I perish. Translation by Mick Swithinbank
