CHORWer ein holdes Weib errungen,
Stimm' in unsern Jubel ein!
Nie wird es zu hoch besungen,
Retterin des Gatten sein.

Deine Treu' erhielt mein Leben,
Tugend schreckt den Bösewicht.
LEONORE
Liebe führte mein Bestreben,
Wahre Liebe fürchtet nicht.
CHOR
Preist mit hoher Freude Glut
Leonorens edlen Mut.
FLORESTAN
Wer ein solches Weib
Stimm' in unsern Jubel ein!
Nie wird es zu hoch besungen,
Retterin des Gatten sein.
LEONORE
Liebend ist es mir gelungen,
Dich aus Ketten zu befrein.
Liebend sei es hoch besungen-.
Florestan ist wieder mein!

ALLE
Nie wird es zu hoch besungen,
Retterin des Gatten sein.
