Verdi: Il trovatore / Act 3 - "Di quella pira" - Luciano Pavarotti, Vienna Opera Chorus, Wiener Opernorchester

Di quella pira l’orrendo foco

Tutte le fibre m’arse avvamp…

Empi spegnetela, o ch’io tra poco

Col sangue vostro la spegner…

Era gi?

figlio prima d’amarti

Non pu?

frenarmi il tuo martir.

Madre infelice, corro a salvarti,

O teco almeno corro a morir!

The horrendous fire of that pyre

All the fibers flashed ...

Empi turn it off, or I'll soon

With your blood I will extinguish it ...

Was she already?

son before loving you

Can't?

hold back your martyr.

Unhappy mother, I run to save you,

Or at least I run to die with you!
