Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:

Ma tu, Re, tu signore possente,
A costoro ti volgi clemente;
Oggi noi siam percossi dal fato,
Ma doman voi potria il fato colpir.

AIDA
Ma tu, Re, tu signore possente,
A costoro ti volgi clemente, ecc.

SCHIAVE, PRIGIONIERI
Sì, dai Numi percossi noi siamo,
Tua pietà, tua clemenza imploriamo;
Ah! giammai di soffrir vi sia dato
Ciò che in oggi n'è dato soffrir!

AMONASRO
Ah! doman voi potria il fato colpir.

English Libretto or Translation:

But you, oh King, you, oh mighty lord,
be merciful to these men.
Today we are struck down by fate,
but tomorrow fate may strike at you.

AIDA
But you, oh King, you, oh mighty lord,
be merciful to these men, etc.

SLAVES, PRISONERS
Yes, by the gods we are struck down;
your pity, your mercy we implore.
Oh, may you never have to suffer
what we must suffer today!

AMONASRO
Ah! tomorrow fate may strike at you.
