Felipe Dias, tenor João Raone, theorbo Recorded on 27 March 2023, at the Palácio Potengi, Natal, Brazil. Why, sweet nightingale, in this dark place, Do you wake me before the dawn? Do you come to tell my heart of the return Of the charming one I adore? Why, sweet nightingale, in this dark place, Do you wake me before dawn? But if Climène, yet too unaware of my love Forsakes my heart to the fire by which it is devoured; Why, sweet nightingale, in this dark place, Do you wake me before the dawn?
