Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:

ASSUR
È dunque vero? - Audace!
Senza un mio cenno in Babilonia Arsace!

ARSACE
(Quale orgoglio!)

ASSUR
Rispondi. - A che lasciasti
Il campo a te fidato? - e chi ti guida
Dal Caucaso all'Eufrate?

ARSACE
Della mia...
E tua Regina un cenno - ed il mio core.

ASSUR
Il tuo core? - Oseresti
Chiedere a Semiramide?...

ARSACE
Mercede
In tal dì, al mio coraggio, alla mia fede.

ASSUR
Superbo! - Intendo. - Ardisci
Azema amar.

ARSACE
L'adoro.

ASSUR
Ma non sai tu che Azema
È figlia de' tuoi Re! che a Ninia sposa
Destinata nascendo...

ARSACE
So che Ninia morì, so che di Nino
Eguale, miserando fu il destino,
So che Azema salvai da fato estremo;
Non conosco, non temo
Rivale che contrasta
Gli affetti miei... So che l'adoro, e basta.

English Libretto or Translation:

ASSUR
Is it therefore true? - Bold!
Without a sign from Babylon in Arsace!

Arsaces
(What pride!)

ASSUR
Reply. - To what you left
The field you trust? - and who is driving you
From the Caucasus to the Euphrates?

Arsaces
Of my...
And your Queen beckoned - and my core.

ASSUR
Your core? - Oseresti
Ask Semiramide? ...

Arsaces
Mercede
In this day, to my courage, to my faith.

ASSUR
Superb! - I mean. - Ardisci
Azema amar.

Arsaces
I love it.

ASSUR
But you do not know that Azema
She is the daughter of your Kings! that in Ninia marries
Destined by being born ...

Arsaces
I know Ninia died, I know that of Nino
Equal, miserable was destiny,
I know that Azema saved from extreme fate;
I do not know, I do not fear
Rivale that contrasts
My affections ... I know I love it, and that's it.
