Bellini: Sei Ariette, #1 "Malinconia Ninfa Gentile - Sumi Jo.

by Vincenzo Bellini (1801-1835) , "Malinconia, Ninfa gentile" , from Sei Ariette, #1. Based on a text in Italian by Ippolito Pindemonte (1753-1828) Language: ITALIAN Malinconia, Ninfa gentile, la vita mia consacro a te; i tuoi piaceri chi tiene a vile, ai piacer veri nato non è. Fonti e colline chiesi agli Dei; m'udiro alfine, pago io vivrò, né mai quel fonte co' desir miei, né mai quel monte trapasserò. Translation: Melancholy, gentle nymph, I devote my life to you. One who despises your pleasures Is not born to true pleasures. I asked the gods for fountains and hills; They heard me at last; I will live satisfied Even though, with my desires, I never Go beyond that fountain and that mountain. by Vincenzo Bellini (1801-1835) , "Malinconia, Ninfa gentile" , from Sei Ariette, no. 1.
