AMNERIS Morire! Ah, tu dêi vivere! Sì, all'amor mio vivrai; Per te le angosce orribili Di morte io già provai; T'amai... soffersi tanto... Vegliai le notti in pianto... E patria, e trono, e vita Tutto darei per te.
English Libretto or Translation:
AMNERIS To die! Oh, you must live! Yes, for my love you shall live; for you the terrible anguish of death have I endured already; I loved you… I suffered so much… at night I have lain awake in tears… and country, throne and life, all would I give for you.
