Dido’s Lament Purcell

 Malena Ernman

When I am laid in earth,
May my wrongs create
No trouble in thy breast;
Remember me, but ah! forget my fate

Joyce DiDonato

Thy hand, Belinda; darkness shades me,
On thy bosom let me rest,
More I would, but Death invades me;
Death is now a welcome guest.

When I am laid in earth,
May my wrongs create
No trouble in thy breast;
Remember me, but ah! forget my fate

Anna Caterina Antonacci

Thy hand, Belinda; darkness shades me,
On thy bosom let me rest,
More I would, but Death invades me;
Death is now a welcome guest.

When I am laid in earth,
May my wrongs create
No trouble in thy breast;
Remember me, but ah! forget my fate.
