Full translation of vocal peaces :
ROSSI "Io lo vedo, o luci belle "
I see it, o beautiful light,  but I cannot help to my heat, but follow my star and  my stars of her eyes...

CACCINI "FERRE SELVAGGI"
Wild nymphs, that  run through  mountains, stop the foot  in this long beach, hear my lament that sometimes out of pity has stopped the wind: Beautiful Fillida doesn't love me....

CACCINI "Amarilli"
My lovely Amaryllis,
Don’t you know, O my heart's sweet desire,
That it is you whom I love?
Believe in my love; and if fear besets you,
Don’t doubt that it’s true.
Open my breast and see written on my heart:
Amaryllis,  is my love

G FRESCOBALDI "Se l'aura spira"
"WHEN THE GRACEFUL BREEZE BLOWS"
When the graceful breeze blows,
The fresh rose laughs
And the shady hedge of emerald green
Has no fear of the summer heat.
Come delight in the dance,
Nature's fair maidens, flowers of beauty,
While the clear stream
Flows from the mountain to the sea.
Such sweet verses spread from bird to bird
Bringing the sappling to flower.
A beautiful face in the nearby shade
Alone exalts in displaying compassion.
With your song, sweet maidens,
Drive away the winds of cruelty

MONTEVERDI "Si dolce è il tormento"
SO SWEET IS THE TORMENT
So sweet is the torment that lies in my heart,
that I live happily from its cruel beauty...
in Heaven's beauty fierce pride may grow bold without pity
but always my faith will be a rock against that wave of pride

May false hope turn back from me
may neither delight nor peace descend upon me
and the cruel woman I adore deny me merciful relief;
amidst infinite pain, amidst broken hope, my faith shall survive...

(From fire and ice I will find no repose;
only at the gate of Heaven shall I find repose...
should the deadly strike of an arrow injure my heart,
my heart shall heal by changing my lot with that [same] arrow of death)

LEGRENZI "Lumi, potete piangere"

Gods, you can cry
you can cry
You will not laugh anymore
The heart, which was happy
In duol you feel yourself breaking
Heavens, you can cry...

TARQUINIO MERULA "Canzona spirituale sopra una nanna"
"Spiritual Lullaby "
Now that it is time to sleep,
Sleep my darling and don't cry,
For a time will come when you need to cry.
So, my darling, my heart, fa la ninna na.

Close those delightful eyes
Like the other children do
Because swift, dark veils
Will soon hide the light of heaven.
So, my darling, my heart, fa la ninna na.

G F HANDEL "Lascia la spina" (from Oratory "The triumph of the time and the truth")
LEAVE THE THORN
Leave the thorn,
gather the rose;
you go looking for
your pain.

G F HANDEL "Ombra mai fu" (from opera "Xerxes")
NEVER WAS A SHADE
Tender and beautiful fronds
of my beloved plane tree,
let Fate smile upon you.
May thunder, lightning, and storms
never disturb your dear peace,
nor may you by blowing winds be profaned.
Never was a shade
of any plant
dearer and more lovely,
or more sweet.

MANUEL DE FALLA
Lullaby
Sleep, baby, sleep,
sleep my soul,
sleep, little star
of my morning!
