Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:


SCENA II
Al suono del tamburo entra Malcolm, conducendo molti soldati inglesi.


MALCOLM
Dove siam? che bosco è quello?

CORO
La foresta di Birnamo!

MALCOLM
Svelga ognuno, e porti un ramo,
Che lo asconda, innanzi a sé.
a Macduff
Ti conforti la vendetta.

MACDUFF
Non l'avrò... di figli è privo!

MALCOLM
Chi non odia il suol nativo
Prenda l'armi e segua me.
Malcolm e Macduff impugnano le spade

TUTTI
La patria tradita
Piangendo ne invita!
Fratelli! gli oppressi
Corriamo a salvar.
Già l'ira divina
Sull'empio ruina;
Gli orribili eccessi
L'Eterno stancar.

English Libretto or Translation:

Drums sound and Malcolm enters, leading a large number of English soldiers.

MALCOLM
Where are we? What wood is that?

CHORUS
Birnam wood.

MALCOLM
Let every man break off a branch
and carry it in front of
him to conceal himself.
to Macduff
Let vengeance comfort you.

MACDUFF
I cannot have it. He has no children.

MALCOLM
Whoever does not hate the land of his birth
let him take up arms and follow me.

ALL
Our betrayed homeland
calls us, in tears.
Brothers! Let us run
to rescue the oppressed!
The wrath of God
will destroy the villain.
God has grown tired
of his awful crimes.
