Verdi: Il trovatore / Act 3 - "Di quella pira" (original)

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!

(translation)

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!
