Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:
OTELLOTant'osi?…
Niun mi tema
s'anco armato mi vede. Ecco la fine
del mio camin…Oh! Gloria! Otello fu.
Lascia cadere la spada. Va presso al letto, contemplando Desdemona
E tu…come sei pallida! e stanca, e muta, e bella,
pia creatura nata sotto maligna stella.
Fredda come la casta tua vita…
e in cielo assorta.
Desdemona! Desdemona!…Ah…morta! morta! morta!…
estraendo furtivamente dalle vesti un pugnale
Ho un'arma ancor!
si ferisce
CASSIO
Ah! ferma!
LODOVICO, MONTANO
Sciagurato!
OTELLO
Pria d'ucciderti…sposa…ti baciai.
Or morendo…nell'ombra…
in cui mi giacio…
Un bacio…un bacio ancora…ah!…un altro bacio…
muore
English Libretto or Translation:
OTHELLOWould you dare?
Let no one fear me
though he see me armed.
Here is my journey’s end ...
Oh! Glory!
Othello’s day is done.
(Letting his sword fall to the ground, he goes to the bed
and gazes at Desdemona.)
And thou... how pale thou art!
And weary, and mute, and beautiful,
pious creature, born ‘neath an evil star.
Cold, even like thy chastity,
and gathered into heaven.
Desdemona! Desdemona!
Ah!... Dead! Dead! Dead!
(furtively producing a dagger from his robe)
I have another weapon!
(stabs himself)
CASSIO
Ah, stop!
LODOVICO, MONTANO
O bloody period!
OTHELLO
Before I killed thee, wife, I kissed thee thus.
Now dying... in the shadow where I lie...
a kiss... another kiss...
ah!... another kiss...
(dies)
