Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:
COROUdite.
A fosco cielo, a notte bruna,
Al fioco raggio d'incerta luna,
Al cupo suono di tuon lontano
Dal colle al pian un'ombra appar.
In bianco avvolta lenzuol cadente,
Col crin disciolto, con occhio ardente,
Qual densa nebbia dal vento mossa,
Avanza, ingrossa, immensa par.
RODOLFO
Ve la dipinge, ve la figura
La vostra cieca credulità.
AMINA e TERESA
Ah! non è fola, non è paura:
Ciascun la vide: è verità.
ELVINO
In verità!
CORO
Dovunque inoltra a passo lento,
Silenzio regna che fa spavento;
Non spira fiato, non move stelo;
Quasi per gelo il rio si sta.
I cani stessi accovacciati,
Abbassan gli occhi, non han latrati.
Sol tratto tratto da valle fonda
La Strige immonda urlando va.
AMINA, LISA, TERESA, ELVINO e RODOLFO
Credulità.
CORO
I cani stessi ecc.
RODOLFO
Vorrei vederla, o presto o tardi,
Vorrei vederla, scoprir che fa.
LISA, TERESA, AMINA ed ELVINO
Il ciel vi guardi!
Saria soverchia temerità.
English Libretto or Translation:
CHOIRHear.
A gloomy sky, a dark night,
In the faint ray of uncertain moon,
At the gloomy sound of distant tuon
From the hill to the plain a shadow appears.
In white wrapped falling sheet,
With the dissolved crin, with burning eye,
What dense fog from the wind is moving,
Advance, big, immense par.
RODOLFO
He paints it, shows it to you
Your blind credulity.
AMINA and TERESA
Ah! it is not a fole, it is not fear:
Each saw her: it is truth.
ELVINO
In truth!
CHOIR
Wherever he proceeds slowly,
Silence reigns in fright;
Do not breathe, do not move the stem;
Almost by frost the river is going.
The dogs squatting themselves,
They lower their eyes, they do not bark.
Only stretch taken from the bottom of the valley
The Stry unclean screaming goes.
AMINA, LISA, TERESA, ELVINO and RODOLFO
Credulity.
CHOIR
The dogs themselves etc.
RODOLFO
I would like to see you, or sooner or later,
I would like to see her, find out what she does.
LISA, TERESA, AMINA and ELVINO
Heaven watch you!
Saria overrides temerity.
