Ardo, sospiro e piango, Diana's aria from La Calisto

Ardo, sospiro e piango       	I burn, I sigh, I weep
osserva eterna fè            	eternal faith, look at me,
e senza mercé                	yet, mercilessly,
pur lassa rimango.           	I am so tired.
Pensando ogn'hor io vò       	I am always thinking
come fuggir le pene,		how to avoid my distress, 
e non lo so			but I don't know.
