Credeasi, misera, Arturo's aria from I Puritani Credeasi, misera! da me tradita, The poor girl believed I had betrayed her, traea sua vita in tal martir! her life was led in that suffering. Or sfido i fulmini, disprezzo il fato, I deny the blows of fate at my side, Se teco allato potro morir! Even if I must die with you! Elvira! Teco io sono! Elvira! I'm with you! Oh, un amplesso! Embrace me! Ah, un addio! Farewell! Arrestate, vi scostate Stop! Stand back Crudeli, crudeli! Cruel, cruel men! Ella e tremante, She is trembling, ella e spirante; she is dying. anime perfide Perfidious souls sorde a pieta! deaf to pity! Un solo istante, For one single instant ah, l'ira frenate ah, restrain your wrath; poscia saziate then you may statiate yourselves di crudelta! with cruelty! Translation by Jon Loy (jslst33+@pitt.edu)
