Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:

Timur
Perduta la battaglia, vecchio re
senza regno e fuggente,
una voce sentii che mi diceva:
"Vien con me, sarò tua guida."
Era Liù.

Calaf
Sia benedetta!

Timur
Ed io cadevo affranto,
e m'asciugava il pianto, mendicava per me.

Calaf
Liù, chi sei?

Liù
Nulla sono! Una schiava, mio signore…

Le donne, gli uomini
Gira la cote!

Calaf
E perché tanta angoscia hai diviso?

Liù
Perché un dì nella reggia m'hai sorriso.

English Libretto or Translation:

Timur
Lost the battle, old king
without kingdom and fleeting,
I heard a voice say to me:
"Come with me, I will be your guide."
It was Liù.

Calaf
Be blessed!

Timur
And I fell heartbroken,
and wiped my tears, begging for me.

Calaf
Liù, who are you?

Liù
Nothing is! A slave, my lord ...

Women, men
Turn the cote!

Calaf
And why did you have so much anguish?

Liù
Because one day you smiled at me in the palace.
