English Translation:

Oh do not sing for me, fair maiden,

Those Georgian songs so sad;

They remind me

Of another life and a distant shore.

Alas, your cruel strains

Remind me

Of the steppe and the night,

And the moonlit face of my distant beloved.

Oh do not sing for me, fair maiden,

Those Georgian songs so sad;

They remind me

Of another life and a distant shore.

- from Oxford Lieder, Alexander Pushkin.

Two Spirit Soprano Mixti (they/them) formerly known as Helena Colindres is performing Linda's aria from Donizetti's Linda di Chamounix with pianist, Min Joo Yi (she/her).

Italiano:

Ah! tardai troppo, e al nostro

favorito convegno io non trovai

il mio diletto Carlo; e chi sa mai

quanto egli avrà sofferto!

Ma non al par di me! Pegno d'amore

questi fior mi lasciò! tenero core!

E per quel core io l'amo,

unico di lui bene.

Poveri entrambi siamo,

viviam d'amor, di speme;

pittore ignoto ancora

egli s'innalzerà coi suoi talenti!Sarà mio sposo allora. Oh noi contenti!

O luce di quest'anima,

delizia, amore e vita,

la nostra sorte unita,

in terra, in ciel sarà.

Deh, vieni a me, riposati

su questo cor che t'ama,

che te sospira e brama,

che per te sol vivrà.

English:

Ah! he isn’t coming, and In our favorite spot, I still don’t see him,

my beloved Carlo, and who can know

how bad he must be feeling!

But I feel even worse!..

(She sees flowers.)

To show he loves me,

Tenero core! he left me these blossoms! Tender heart!

And for that heart, I love him,

it’s all the riches he has.

Because we’re both quite poor,

we live on love, on hoping.

He’s still unknown as a painter

but one day his talent will shine!

Then he will be my husband.

Oh, we’ll be happy!

Oh, you, the light of my soul,

my delight, my love, my life,

our fate will always bind us

on earth and in heaven, too.

Come here, I beg, and rest, my dear,

upon this heart that loves you,

that sighs for you with longing,

and lives for you alone.

Two Spirit disabled soprano, Mixti (they/them) formerly known as Helena Colindres and pianist, Jon (he/him) King perform Amina's final aria in Vincenzo Bellini's La Sonnambula (the sleep walker).

Italiano:

Ah! non credea mirarti

Sì presto estinto, o fiore;

Passasti al par d'amore,

Che un giorno sol durò.

Piange sui fiori.

Ah! non giunge uman pensiero

Al contento ond'io son piena:

A' miei sensi io credo appena;

Tu m'affida, o mio tesor.

Ah mi abbraccia, e sempre insieme

Sempre uniti in una speme,

Della terra in cui viviamo

Ci formiamo un ciel d'amor.

English:

Ah! I did not believe to aim you

Yes soon extinct, or flower;

You passed to the par of love,

That one day only lasted.

He cries on the flowers.

Ah! human thought does not come

To the satisfaction I am full:

I just believe in my senses;

You trust me, my treasure.

Ah hugs me, and always together

Always united in a hope,

Of the earth in which we live

We form a heaven of love.
