Recitativo: Nel dolce dell'oblio, benchè riposi, la mia Filli adorata veglia coi pensier suoi. E in quella quiete Amor non cessa mai, con varie forme, la sua pace turbar mentre elle dorme. Recitative: In her sweet sleep, although resting, My adored Phillis Awakens through her thoughts And in this quietness Love never stops in various ways to trouble her sleeping peace.

Aria: Ha l'inganno il suo diletto se i pensier mossi d'affetto, stiman ver ciò che non sanno. Ma se poi si risveglia a un tale errore il pensier ridica a noi: ha l'inganno il suo dolore. Ha l'inganno, etc. Aria: If thoughts, moved by love, Deem as true what they do not know, This sort of deceit has its charm. But if the mind awakens from such an error May it speak the truth to us all: "This deceit has its charm!" If thoughts, etc.

about

Pensieri notturni di Filli, HWV134 by George Frideric Handel was composed between 1706 and 1708 during several of his visits to the Italian peninsula, where he composed over 100 secular cantatas for the entertainments of Benedetto Pamphili, Pietro Ottoboni, and especially the Marquis Francesco Maria Ruspoli. Based on an anonymous text, Pensieri notturni di Filli is Handel's only surviving chamber cantata for voice, recorder and continuo.
