LocationMünchen, Hoftheater[2]

"Siam navi all'onde algenti" is an aria from the opera L'Olimpiade (Engl.: The Olympiad) by Andrea Bernasconi. The author of the libretto is Pietro Metastasio.

The libretto indicates Sebastiano Emiliani as the singer of the role of Aminta.

The sojetto was immensely popular; the first composer who set Metastasio's words to music was Caldara's in 1733; Vivaldi followed shortly after, in 1734. His is undoubtedly the most popular, especially since the Siam navi all'onde algenti has famously and spectacularly been sung by Cecilia Bartoli.

Bernasconi's L'Olimpiade was written and performed in 1764. It is easy to hear that the times have changed since Vivaldi while some things always remain the same.

Bernasconi's Siam navi all'onde algenti appears on the following album:

Siam navi all'onde algenti
(We are ships on swelling waves)


‎


Italy
Italian

Insana gioventù! Qualora esposta
ti veggo tanto agl'impeti d'amore,
di mia vecchiezza io mi consolo e rido.
Dolce è il mirar dal lido
chi sta per naufragar; non che ne alletti
il danno altrui ma sol perché l'aspetto
d'un mal che non si soffre è dolce oggetto.
Ma che? L'età canuta
non ha le sue tempeste? Ah! Che purtroppo
ha le sue proprie; e dal timor dell'altre
sciolta non è. Son le follie diverse
ma folle è ognuno; e a suo piacer n'aggira
l'odio o l'amor, la cupidigia o l'ira.
 
Siam navi all'onde algenti
lasciate in abbandono;
impetuosi venti
i nostri affetti sono;
ogni diletto è scoglio;
tutta la vita è mar.
 
Ben, qual nocchiero, in noi
veglia ragion; ma poi
pur dall'ondoso orgoglio
si lascia trasportar. (Parte)

source: Progetto Metastasio, L'Olimpiade, 1757[3]

United Kingdom
English literal translation

Foolish youth! When I see thee exposed
so much to the impulses of love,
I console myself with my old age and laugh.
Sweet is the sight from the shore
Of one who is about to be shipwrecked; not that the harm
of others' delights, but only because the sight
Of a misfortune that is not suffered is sweet.
But what? The grey-haired age
has not its storms? Ah! it alas
Has its own; and from the fear of others
It is not freed. The follies are various
But everyone is mad; and at their leisure,
they turn to hate or love, greed or wrath.

We are ships on the icy waves
Left to abandonment;
a raging storm
are our affections;
every pleasure is a reef;
all life is the sea.

Well, as a helmsman, in us
Reason watches; but then
Yet by the wave-like pride
Lets itself be carried away.

Translation: FR[4]

United Kingdom
English poetic translation

I see that love makes thee delirious* -
but we are all the slaves of some passion -
everyone is ruled by love or hate,
by anger or desire

We're vessels left to wander wide
Amidst a rough and stormy tide
Our furious passions that prevail
Are dang'rous winds that swell the sail;
Our life's the sea on which we steer
And pleasure is the rock we fear.

source: Libretto from the Cimarosa version, London 1788
B-Part missing
*) Both, the poetic English and the German version have
abbreviated the recitativo. [5]

Germany
German poetic translation

Unverständige Jugend, wie wirst du
von dessen stürmenden Leidenschaften hingerissen,
mein ruhiges Alter siehet deine Thorheit mit Mitleiden an.

Aber wie? Hat das graue Alter
nicht auch seine stürmischen Tage? O Ja, der Haß,
die Liebe, die Begierde, und der Zorn
treiben es gleichfalls zu Widerwärtigkeiten* und Sorgen.

Den Schiffen gleichen wir,
In wildem Meer verlassen,
Wenn heftige Winde hier,
Das morsche Ruder fassen
Dem Meer ist das Leben gleich
An Klippen durch Begierden reich.

Wir sind zwar Schiffer die erfahren,
Doch reißen** uns die Stürme hin,
Die über Geist, Vernunft und Sinn
Zu mächtig starke*** Meister waren.
(Gehet ab.)

*) Original: "Wiederwärtigkeiten"
**) Original: "reisen"
