Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:


SCENA VI
Dama della Regina e Macbeth.


DAMA
E' morta la Regina!

MACBETH
con indifferenza e sprezzo
La vita... che importa?...
È il racconto d'un povero idiota;
Vento e suono che nulla dinota!

la Dama parte


SCENA VII
Coro di guerrieri e Macbeth.


CORO
Sire! ah, Sire!

MACBETH
Che fu?...quali nuove?

CORO
La foresta di Birna si muove!

MACBETH
attonito
M'hai deluso, presago infernale!...
Qui l'usbergo, la spada, il pugnale!
Prodi, all'armi! La morte o la gloria.

CORO
Dunque all'armi! sì, morte o vittoria.

English Libretto or Translation:

DISTANT VOICES
She is dead!

MACBETH
What is that crying?

GENTLEWOMAN
rushing in
The Queen is dead!

MACBETH
Life... what does it matter?
It is the tale of a poor fool:
wind and sound signifying nothing.

The gentlewoman leaves.
Soldiers enter.


CHORUS
Sire!

MACBETH
What is it? What news?

CHORUS
Birnam wood is moving!

MACBETH
You have deceived me, hellish prophecy!
Bring my shield, my sword, my dagger!'
My valiant men, to arms! Death or victory!

CHORUS
To arms then! Death or victory!
