Original lyrics

Ah! mio cor!

Ah! mio cor! schernito sei!

Stelle! Dei! Nume d’amore!

Traditore! T’amo tanto;

puoi lasciarmi sola in pianto,

oh dei! perché?

Ma, che fa gemendo Alcina?

Son reina, è tempo ancora:

resti o mora, peni sempre,

o torni a me.

Oh! My heart!

Oh! My heart! How scorned you are!

Stars, oh gods! You spirit of love!

Traitor you are! Yet you I love!

Alone you leave me with all my tears?

Oh my god! Oh why?

But, what makes Alcina weep and sob?

Queen I am! And time is there for us:

Stay or perish, pain on end,

or again love me!
