http://www.aria-database.com/ is a great source for aria translations in
general (plus other useful info); unfortunately, this particular aria hasn't
been translated yet. Although the French version doesn't look too hard to
translate for someone with a French-English dictionary and a bit of time.

Another libretto source is http://php.indiana.edu/~lneff/librettik.html.

A good place to look in general for aria translations is a music library
attached to a college or university. Often, they will have entire librettos
translated into multiple languages (I found one for Fiona in a local library
with Mignon translated into both English and German).
