Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:
Le stesse. Elena in veste da sposa scende dalla gradinata del palazzo a diritta. Le giovinette le muovono incontro, offrendole dei fiori, indi Arrigo.ELENA
Mercé, dilette amiche,
Di quei leggiadri fior;
Il caro dono è immagine
Del vostro bel candor!
Oh! fortunato il vincolo
Che mi prepara amor;
Se voi recate pronube
Felici augurii al cor!
Sogno beato, caro delirio,
Per voi del fato l'ira cessò!
L'aura soave che qui respiro
Già tutti i sensi m'inebbriò.
O piaggie di Sicilia,
Risplenda un dì sereno;
Assai vendette orribili
Ti lacerano il seno!
Colma di speme e immemore
Di quanto il cor soffrì,
Il giorno del mio giubilo
Sia di tue glorie il dì,
Sogno beato, caro delirio, ecc., ecc.
CORO
L'affetto che inspiri
Seduce ognicor!
È serto di gloria
Il serto d'amor!
English Libretto or Translation:
The same. Elena in a wedding dress goes down the steps of the building to the right. The young girls move them to meet her, offering her some flowers, then Arrigo.ELENA
Mercé, beloved friends,
Of those graceful flowers;
The dear gift is image
Of your beautiful candor!
Oh! lucky the bond
That prepares me for love;
If you go pronube
Happy birthday to the heart!
Dream of happiness, dear delirium,
For you of fate, wrath ceased!
The gentle aura that I breathe here
Already all the senses drove me.
Or Sicily's peaches,
One day shine bright;
Much horrible vendettas
They tear your breasts!
Full of hope and forgetful
How much the chorus suffered,
The day of my jubilation
Let it be of your glories the day,
Blissful dream, dear delirium, etc., etc.
CHOIR
The love you breathe
Seduce ognicor!
It is full of glory
The serto d'amor!
