Lascia Ch'io pianga Farinelli

Movie Scene-1

     🌹 Farinelli(18C, Italy) was a desexualized castrato to make sound a high octave like females, that was his cruel fate...

    Meanwhile, people desire to gain
something both, but we people may necessarily lose one of the two in order to take only one as if Farinelli who lost a masculinity to be the castrato.

    We people might not be able to get "both" at the same time; our mindset that we have to deservedly gain one of the two might be more inappropriate, rather we may even lose both...

    Many dreamed to be a renowned celebrity as a castrato in those days, but only few persons succeeded in becoming a castrato;  in one sense, our lives itself are unfair from the beginning, but that is life in this world...

The Movie Scene-2

     Somehow, Farinelli seemed not to be happy, although he became the top castrato in the movie, so by now he is singing the song with his heartbreak which lost his masculinity and liberty, however, Farinelli gained the beautiful and touching voice as a castrato, losing one of the two. That was his precious masculinity.

Lascia ch'io pianga : 

Let Me Weep

Let me weep 

The cruel fate

Let me sigh

For Liberty

Let me sigh

For Liberty

May sorrow break these chains of my sufferings

For pity's sake...

Let me weep

The cruel fate

And let me sigh

For liberty...

Quoted: Farinelli OST/ composed by Handel.
