Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:
L'ImperatoreUn giuramento atroce mi constringe
a tener fede al fosco patto.
E il santo scettro ch'io stringo gronda di sangue.
Basta sangue! Giovine, va'!
Calaf
Figlio del Cielo, io chiedo d'affrontar la prova!
L'Imperatore
Fa ch'io possa morir senza portare
il peso della tua giovine vita!
Calaf
Figlio del Cielo, io chiedo d'affrontar la prova!
L'Imperatore
Non voler che s'empia ancor d'orror la Reggia, il mondo...
Calaf
Figlio del Cielo,
io chiedo d'affrontar la prova!
L'Imperatore
Straniero, ebbro di morte!
E sia! Si compia il tuo destino!
English Libretto or Translation:
The emperorAn atrocious oath forces me
to keep faith with the dark pact.
And the holy scepter I shake with blood.
Enough blood! Young, go!
Calaf
Son of Heaven, I ask you to face the test!
The emperor
Let me die without bringing
the weight of your young life!
Calaf
Son of Heaven, I ask you to face the test!
The emperor
Do not want the Palace, the world ...
Calaf
Son of Heaven,
I ask to face the test!
The emperor
Stranger, drunk with death!
And be it! Let your destiny be fulfilled!
