Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:
ARSACETu serena intanto il ciglio,
Calma, o madre, il tuo terror.
Or che il ciel ti rende il figlio
Dei sperar nel suo favor:
Vo a implorar per te perdono,
A punire un traditor.
SEMIRAMIDE
Ah! non so di qual periglio
Fier presagio agghiaccia il cor,
Or che a me rendesti il figlio,
Ciel! lo salvi il tuo favor:
Ah! sperar non so perdono,
Troppo giusto è il suo furor.
SEMIRAMIDE e ARSACE
Dal terribile cimento
A me riedi vincitor./Sì, m'attendi vincitor.
(Partono).
English Libretto or Translation:
ArsacesIn the meantime you calm the edge,
Calm, or mother, your terror.
Now that heaven makes you a son
Of the hope in his favor:
I'm going to implore you for forgiveness,
To punish a traitor.
Semiramide
Ah! I do not know what kind of a peril
Fier omen chill the heart,
Now that you made me a son,
Ciel! save your favor:
Ah! I hope I can not forgive,
Its furor is too right.
SEMIRAMIDE and ARSACE
From the terrible trial
To me you re-conquer./Yes, I'm waiting for you.
(They leave).
