Vide Cor Meum {Behold My Heart}

[Libretto aria based on sonnet "ciascun'alma presa", in chapter 3 of Dante's "La Vita Nuova". Composed by Patrick Cassidy specifically for opera segment in Ridley Scott's 2001 motion picture "Hannibal", also later used in Ridley Scott's 2005  film "Kingdom Of Heaven". Produced by Hans Zimmer]

Chorus: pensando di lei
 Mi sopragiunse uno soave sonno

 Ego dominus tuus
 Vide cor tuum
 d'esto core ardendo
 Cor tuum
 (Chorus: Lei paventosa)
 Umilmente pascea.
 Appreso gir lo ne vedea piangendo.

 La letizia si convertia
 In amarissimo pianto

 Io sono in pace
 Cor meum
 Io sono in pace
 Vide cor meum

Chorus: And thinking of her
 Sweet sleep overcame me

 I am your master
 See your heart
 And of this burning heart
 Your heart
 (Chorus: She trembling)
 Obediently eats.
 Weeping, I saw him then depart from me.

 Joy is converted
 To bitterest tears

 I am in peace
 My heart
 I am in peace
 See my heart
