Edgardo
You
who unfolded your wings to God
O
beautiful, loving soul
Turn
yourself back to me, satisfied;
Your
faithful one ascends with you.
Ah!
If the wrath of mortals
Brings
such a cruel war to us,
If we
are divided on earth,
May
God in heaven join us.
Raimondo
Madman!...
Raimondo,
Chorus
Ah! What
are you doing?
Edgardo
I
want to die, I want to die!
Raimondo,
Chorus
Be
sensible, be sensible!
Edgardo
No,
no no!
Raimondo
What
have you done?
Edgardo
I’m
coming to you, o beautiful soul…
Raimondo
Wretched
man!
Edgardo
Turn
yourself back ah! To your faithful one.
Raimondo
Think
of heaven!
Edgardo
Ah,
if the wrath of mortals
Such
a cruel war...
O beautiful soul, may God in heaven join us.
O beautiful, loving soul,
May God in heaven join us.
O beautiful soul, may God in heaven join us.
O beautiful, loving soul,
May God in heaven join us.
Chorus
What
horror!
Raimondo
O God,
forgive him!
Chorus
Oh awful,
black fate!
God, pardon this great horror!
God, pardon this great horror!
