Chi t’intende? o cieca instabile! (Handel) Klara Ek

Chi t’intende? o cieca instabile! from the opera Berenice, regina d'Egitto, HWV 38
by George Frideric Handel (1685-1759)
Klara Ek, soprano
Patrick Beaugirard, oboe
Il Complesso Barocco
Alan Curtis, conductor
Chi t'intende, o cieca, instabile,
capricciosa Deità?
Infelice e miserabile
vuoi colui che t'accarezza,
e a chi più ti fugge e sprezza
dai maggior felicità.
TRANSLATION:
Who can understand you, O blind, inconstant,
whimsical goddess?
You would have those who caress you
unhappy and wretched,
and to those who treat you with the least respect
you give the greatest joy.
