Amara servitù, Diana's aria from La Calisto

Amara servitù ch'allontanarmi fai 	Painful servitude that separates me
da chi mia gioia fù,          		from whom that brought me so great joy,
amara servitù.                		oh, painful servitude.
Soave libertà                 		Oh, sweet liberty,
quanto, oh! quanto tu         		how much, how much
voieni a consolarmi.          		consolation you give me.
