Per questa bella mano,
Per questi vaghi rai
Giuro, mio ben, che mai
Non amerò che te.
L'aure, le piante, i sassi,
Che i miei sospir ben sanno,
A te qual sia diranno
La mia costante fé.
Volgi lieti o fieri sguardi,
Dimmi pur che m'odi o m'ami,
Sempre acceso ai dolci dardi,
Sempre tuo vo' che mi chiami,
Né cangiar può terra o cielo
Quel desio che vive in me.

For this beautiful hand
For these lovely eyes
I swear, my dear, that
I shall love none but you.
The breeze, the stones and trees
that know well my sighs
will tell you all you want
that I am undyingly true.
Give me happy or haughty looks
Even tell me you hate or love me
Always, you may have ambrosial arrows,
Always, it is your voice above me.

This late aria of Mozart features the unique combination of bass voice and double bass obbligato and orchestra. It
was written in March of 1791, just before Mozart began work on The Magic Flute, and both of the soloists in this
aria took part in the premiere of that opera. Franz Xaver Gerl, the bass soloist, sang the role of Sarastro in The
Magic Flute, and Friedrich Pischelberger, the double bass soloist, played principal bass in the orchestra for the
opera. Knowing both men to be virtuosi, Mozart gave them considerable musical gymnastics in their duo aria.
