THE CORONATION OF POPPEA was Claudio Monteverdis last opera (1642).

It is an Italian opera in three acts.

After Monteverdi's death, the composer Pietro Francesco Cavalli (1602-76),

who oversaw later productions of the work in Rome,

made some revisions to the last act.

It is with his reworkings that the opera is performed today.

The libretto, by Giovanni Busenello, was based on Roman history in 64 AD.

 

The beautiful love duet that closes this aria is Pur ti miro, pur ti godo,

 

 

 

"Pur Ti Miro" (from L'Incoronazione Di Poppea)

ITALIAN TEXT:

Pur ti miro, Pur ti godo,
Pur ti stringo, Pur t'annodo,
Più non peno, Più non moro,
O mia vita, o mio tesoro.

Io son tua, tuo son io
Speme mia, dillo, dì,
Tu sei pur l'idol mio
Sì, mio ben, Sì, mio cor, mia vita, sì.


 ENGLISH TRANSLATION (Avril Bardoni):

I gaze at you, delight in you
embrace you, wind you in my arms.
I strive no more, think no more of death,
O my life, my treasure.

I am yours, yours am I,
my dearest, say it, say
you are the idol of my heart,
oh yes, my love, my heart, my life, oh yes.
