Libretto (Italian)

ARIA
Falsa immagine, m’ingannasti,
mi mostrasti un volto amabile;
e quel volto m’allettò.

Or cessato il dolce inganno,
trovo orrore, e trovo affanno
ove gioie il cor sperò.

Translation (English)

ARIA
False image, you deceived me.
You showed me a face worthy of love,
and that face allured me.

Now the sweet deception has ceased,
I find horror, and I find grief
where my heart once hoped for joy.
