Lyrics Dido and Aeneas, Z.626 / Act 3: "Thy hand, Belinda...When I am laid in earth" - English Chamber Orchestra , Henry Purcell , Jessye Norman

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