Svegliatevi nel core
furie d'un alma offesa
a far d'un traditor
aspra vendetta!
L'ombra del genitore
accorre a mia difesa
e dice: a te il rigor
Figlio si aspetta.
Awaken in my heart
The wrath of an offended soul
So I may wreak upon a traitor
My bitter vengeance!
The ghost of my father
Hastens to my defense
Saying, "From you, my son
Ferocity is expected"
Aria Sesto
Svegliatevi nel core, furie d'un alma offesa, a far d'un traditor aspra vendetta! L'ombra del genitore accorre a mia difesa, e dice: a te il rigor, Figlio si aspetta. (parte)
Sesto Air
Wake up in the core, furies of an alma offense, to make of a traitor bitter revenge! The shadow of the parent comes to my defense, and says: to you the rigor, Son expects. (part)
