Porgi, amor, qualche ristoro, the Countess's aria from Le Nozze di Figaro

Porgi, amor, qualche ristoro,        	O Love, give me some remedy
Al mio duolo, a'miei sospir!         	For my sorrow, for my sighs!
O mi rendi il mio tesoro,            	Either give me back my darling
O mi lascia almen morir.             	Or at least let me die.
