Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:
ASSUR(con energia)
Sì - vi sarà vendetta. - Io vivo ancora:
Io solo basto. - Per ignota via,
Di Nino nella tomba
Là si discende... Io solo
L'empio a svenar, a vendicarvi io volo.
Trema, Arsace... Ah! - Che miro!
(s'avvia alla tomba... s'arresta ad un tratto,
come colpito da un oggetto terribile...
da visione spaventevole)
Su quella soglia!... e che!... folle! deliro?
(s'avanza, e con raccapriccio)
Qual mano!... man di ferro mi respinge?...
E chi? - Desso! - Oh! quai sguardi!... un brando ei stringe...
S'avventa a me - fuggiamo... Ah! Ch'ei m'arresta...
Lasciami - Il crin m'afferra
D'un piè sfonda la terra
L'abisso!... ei me l'addita...
Ei mi vi spinge... Ah! no... Ciel! - né poss'io
Da lui fuggir?... Come salvarmi! Oh Dio!
Deh!... ti ferma... ti placa... perdona...
Togli a me quel terribile aspetto:
Quell'acciaro già sento nel petto...
Quell'abisso mi colma d'orror.
Alla pace dell'ombre ritorna...
Ah! pietà dell'oppresso mio cor.
English Libretto or Translation:
ASSUR(with energy)
Yes - there will be revenge. - I still live:
I just take it. - By unknown route,
Di Nino in the grave
There we go down ... I alone
The wicked to faint, to avenge you flight.
Trema, Arsace ... Ah! - What a miro!
(he goes to the grave ... he stops suddenly,
as if struck by a terrible object ...
from scary vision)
On that threshold! ... and that! ... crazy! delirious?
(advances, and with horror)
What hand! ... man of iron rejects me? ...
And who? - Desso! - Oh! what looks! ... a brando and tightens ...
He rushes to me - we flee ... Ah! What's stopping me ...
Leave me - The crin grabs me
The earth breaks down from one foot
The abyss! ... and I pointed to it ...
He pushes me ... Ah! no ... Ciel! - neither can I
From him fleeing? ... How to save me! Oh God!
Deh! ... it stops you ... it appeases you ... forgive ...
Take away from me that terrible aspect:
That slap I already feel in my chest ...
That abyss fills me with horror.
At the peace of the skin returns ...
Ah! pity of the oppressed my heart.
