Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:
ENRICO, ARTURO, CAVALIERI
T' allontana, sciagurato
O il tuo sangue fia versato ...
EDGARDO
Morirò, ma insiem col mio
Atro sange scorrerà.
RAIMONDO
Rispettate, o voi, di Dio
La tremanda Maestà.
In suo nome io vel commando,
Deponete l'ira e il brando.
Pace, pace ... egli abborrisce
L' omicida, e scritto sta:
Chi di ferro altrui ferisce,
Pur di ferro perirà.
ENRICO
Ravenswood in queste porte
Chi ti guida?
EDGARDO
La mia sorte;
Il mio dritto ... sì! Lucia
La sua fede a me giurò.
RAIMONDO
Questo amor per sempre obblia;
Ella è d' altri ...
EDGARDO
D'altri! ... ah no!
RAIMONDO
Mira.
EDGARDO
Tremi ... ti confondi!
Son tue cifre? - A me rispondi:
Son tue cifre?
LUCIA
Si ...
EDGARDO
Riprendi
Il tuo pegno, infido cor.
Il mio dammi.
LUCIA
Almen ...
EDGARDO
Lo rendi
Hai tradito il crelo, e amor.
Maledetto sia l'instante
Ohe di te mi rese amante ...
Stirpe iniqua ... abbominata
Io dovea da te fuggir!
Ah di Dio la mano irata
Ti disperda ...English Libretto or Translation:
ARTURO and ENRICO
Begone, you wretch,
(drawing their swords)
or your blood shall be shed.
CHORUS
Begone, you wretch...
EDGARDO
(drawing his sword)
I shall die, but other blood
shall flow with mine.
RAIMONDO
(intervening commandingly)
Respect in me
the awful majesty of God.
In His name I command you
to lay down your anger and your swords.
Peace, peace...He abhors
a murderer, and it is written:
He who harms his brother by the sword,
shall perish by the sword.
(They all put up their swords.)
Peace, peace.
ENRICO
(advancing towards Edgardo)
You madman! What brings you here?
EDGARDO
My destiny and my right.
ENRICO
Scoundrel!
EDGARDO
Yes. Lucia swore to marry me.
RAIMONDO
Ah, forget this ill-fated love -
she is another's...
EDGARDO
Another's? No...
RAIMONDO
(showing him the contract)
Look!
EDGARDO
(reading, then fixing his gaze on Lucia)
You are trembling...confused...
Is this your hand? Answer me!
(pointing to the signature)
Is this your signature? Answer!
LUCIA
(sobbing)
Yes.
EDGARDO
(throwing the ring towards her)
Then take back your ring, false heart.
LUCIA
Ah!
EDGARDO
Give me mine.
LUCIA
At least...
EDGARDO
Return it.
LUCIA
Edgardo! Edgardo!
(In utmost confusion she returns the ring.)
EDGARDO
You have betrayed Heaven and love.
Accursed be the moment,
when I first fell in love with you,
evil, abominable brood,
I should have fled from you,
abominable, accursed,
I should have fled from you.
LUCIA
Ah!
EDGARDO
Ah, may God destroy you!
ENRICO
Insane presumption! Begone! Begone!
RAIMONDO
Insane presumption! Peace!External links for T'allontana sciagurato
