Great Moments In 21st Century Music

If you love music, then Cecilia Bartoli singing "Sposa son disprezzata" will probably move you. Hopefully even if you're not a fan of opera. The entire performance is magnificent, but from 3:19 on is simply divine.

Italian
Translation in English
Sposa son disprezzata,
fida son oltraggiata,
cieli che feci mai?
E pur egl'è il mio cor
il mio sposo, il mio amor,
la mia speranza.
L'amo ma egl'è infedel
spero ma egl'è crudel,
morir mi lascierai?
O Dio manca il valor
valor e la costanza.
I am a scorned wife,
faithful, yet insulted.
Heavens, what did I do?
And yet he is my heart,
my husband, my love,
my hope.
I love him, but he is unfaithful,
I hope, but he is cruel,
will he let me die?
O God, valor is missing -
valor and constancy.
