Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:
ENRICOChe intendo?
Ambo morrete, o perfidi:
Chi può sottrarvi a morte?
PERCY
Giustizia il può …
ANNA
Giustizia!! …
Muta è d'Enrico in Corte.
ENRICO
Ella a tacersi apprese
Quando sul trono inglese
Ceder dovette il loco
Una regina a te.
Ma parlerà fra poco …
PERCY
E tu l'ascolta, o Re.
Se d'un tradito talamo
Dessi vendetta al dritto,
Soltanto il mio si vendichi …
Esso nel Cielo è scritto.
Sposi noi siam.
ENRICO
Voi sposi!! …
ANNA
Ah! che di' tu?
ENRICO
Tant' osi?
PERCY
Riprendo i dritti miei:
Ella sia resa a me.
ENRICO
E sposa sua tu sei! …
ANNA
titubante
Io …
PERCY
Puoi negarlo? …
ANNA
(Ahimè! …)
PERCY
Fin dall'età più tenera
Tu fosti mia, lo sai;
Tu mi lasciasti; io, misero,
Anche infedel t'amai.
Quel che mi t'ha rapita
Ti toglie onore e vita …
Le braccia io t'apro, io voglio
Renderti vita e onor.
ANNA
Ah! del tuo cuor magnanimo
Qual prova a me tu dai!
Perisca il dì che, perfida,
Te peI crudel lasciai!
M'ha della fé tradita
Il giusto Ciel punita …
Io non trovai nel soglio
Altro che affanno e orror.
English Libretto or Translation:
HENRY:What do I hear!
Both of you will die, O traitors;
what can deliver you from death
PERCY:
Justice can…
ANNA:
Justice!!
It is silent in the court of Henry!
HENRY:
It learnt to be silent
when on the English throne
a Queen
had to surrender her place to you.
PERCY:
But she will soon speak
and you must listen to her, O King.
if for a betrayed nuptial bed
rightful vengeance might be given,
only mine may be avenged…
it is written in Heaven.
We were betrothed.
HENRY:
You betrothed!
ANNA:
Ah! What are you saying?
HENRY:
Are you so bold?
PERCY:
I take back my rights.
let her be returned to me.
HENRY:
And you are his wife!…
ANNA:
(faltering)
I…
PERCY:
Can you deny it?…
ANNA:
(Alas!…)
PERCY:
From your most tender years
you were mine, you know it;
you betrayed me; wretch that I am
I loved you even though unfaithful.
As he betrayed me, he has betrayed you
he takes from you honour and life…
I open my arms to you; I wish to give back to you
life and honour.
ANNA:
Ah, what proof you give to me
of your generous heart!
Perish the day when, as a traitor
I left you for that cruel man!
Righteous Heaven has punished me
for that betrayed faith…
I found nothing on the throne
other than anguish and horror.
