Original lyrics
Alma del core
*Tirsi (Meleagro, principe d'Etolia):
Alma del core,
Spirto dell'alma,
Sempre costante t'adorerò!
Sarò contento
Nel mio tormento
Se quel bel labbro baciar potrò.
*Clori (Atalanta, principessa d'Arcadia):
Dolce mia vita,
Cor del mio seno,
Sempre quest'alma t'adorerà.
Al tuo splendore
Questo mio core
Clitia fedele s'aggirerà.

Translation
Soul of (my) heart
* Tirsi (Meleagro, prince of Etolia)
Soul of (my) heart,
Spirit of (my) soul,
Always constantly I will adore you!
I will be content
In my torment
If I could kiss that beautiful lip.
* Clori (Atalanta, princess of Arcadia)
O my sweet life,
Heart of my breast,
Always this soul will adore you.
To your splendor
This my heart
Clitia faithful will go around.

Russia is waging a disgraceful war on Ukraine. Stand With Ukraine!
About translator
“Alma del core” is an aria from the “opera-pastorale” “La constanza in amor vince l'inganno”(“Faithfulness in love defeats treachery”), composed in 1710 and revised in 1716 by Antonio CALDARA (1670 – 1736).
The first singer is not Clori (princess Atalanta) but Tirsi (prince Meleagro): because he says "sarò contento", which is masculine, a woman would say "sarò contenta".
