La speranza più soave, Idreno's aria from Semiramide

La speranza più soave,
già quest'alma lusigava;
e l'istante s'appressava,
più felice pel mio cor,

Te mia sposa, a questo seno!
Ah! si, andiam!
ma, tu sospiri?
par che il pianto
celi astento!

(Ah! ti frena in tal momento,
o geloso mio furor!)
Si, speraro voglio contento;
a chi t'ama cederai;
m'amerai, dividerai
di quest'anima l'ardore,
e con me giubilerai,
nei trasporti dell'amore!
