LYRICS Manrico: Di quella pira l'orrendo foco Tutte le fibre m'arse avvampò!... Empi spegnetela, o ch'io tra poco Col sangue vostro la spegnerò... Era già figlio prima d'amarti Non può frenarmi il tuo martir. Madre infelice, corro a salvarti, O teco almeno corro a morir! Leonora: Non reggo a colpi tanto funesti... Oh quanto meglio sarìa morir! Ruiz, Chorus of soldiers: All'armi, all'armi! eccone presti A pugnar teco, teco a morir. TRANSLATION Manrico: Of that dark scaffold, those flames ascending, Thrill thro' each fibre with madd'ning glow! Quench them, ye monsters vile or, still offending, To stay their fury, your blood shall flow! I was her offspring, ere love I gave thee, I vain, to hold me, thy griefs would try. Mother unhappy! I fly to save thee, Or, all else failing, with thee to die! Leonora: Such heavy sorrows my heart o'erpow'ring. Oh! better far would it be to die! Ruiz, Chorus of soldiers: Arouse ye to arms now! The foe we will defy! |
