Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:
RADAMÈSO Re: pei sacri Numi,
Per lo splendor della tua corona,
Compier giurasti il voto mio.
IL RE
Giurai.
RADAMÈS
Ebbene: a te pei prigionieri Etiopi
Vita domando e libertà.
AMNERIS
(Per tutti!)
SACERDOTI
Morte ai nemici della patria!
POPOLO
Grazia
Per gli infelici!
RAMFIS
Ascolta o Re. Tu pure,
Giovine eroe, saggio consiglio ascolta:
Son nemici e prodi sono;
La vendetta hanno nel cor,
Fatti audaci dal perdono
Correranno all'armi ancor!
RADAMÈS
Spento Amonasro, il re guerrier, non resta
Speranza ai vinti.
RAMFIS
Almeno,
Arra di pace e securtà, fra noi
Resti col padre Aida.
IL RE
Al tuo consiglio io cedo.
Di securtà, di pace un miglior pegno
Or io vo'darvi: Radamès, la patria
Tutto a te deve. D'Amneris la mano
Premio ti sia. Sovra l'egitto un giorno
Con essa regnerai.
AMNERIS
(Venga la schiava,
Venga a rapirmi l'amor mio... se l'osa!)
English Libretto or Translation:
RADAMÈSOh King, by the holy gods,
by the splendour of your crown,
you swore to grant my wish.
KING
I swore.
RADAMÈS
Well then, for the Ethiopian prisoners
I ask life and liberty of you.
AMNERIS
(For all!)
PRIESTS
Death to our country's enemies!
PEOPLE
Compassion
for these wretched ones!
RAMFIS
Hear me, oh King. You too,
young hero, wise counsel hear:
They are enemies, and bold they are;
they harbour vengeance in their hearts;
emboldened by pardon
they will hasten to take up arms once more!
RADAMÈS
With Amonasro, their warrior king, dead,
no hope is left to the conquered.
RAMFIS
At least,
as pledge of security and peace,
let Aida and her father stay among us.
KING
To your counsel I yield.
How I will give you a better pledge
of security and peace. Radamès, to you our country
owes everything. May the hand of Amneris
be your reward. One day over Egypt
with her you shall reign.
AMNERIS
(Now, let the slave come, let her
come and take my love from me... if she dare!)
