Tenor-Solo Und einsam steht ein Jüngling noch, Es fließt sein Blut aus manchen Wunden, Er beugt den Nacken nicht ins Joch, Ein Leu, umstellt von Waidmannshunden. Schon hat sein Schwert im Feindesschwarm Mit blut'gen Lettern es geschrieben, Daß ungebeugt ihm Herz und Arm, Ein Pfeil nur ist ihm übrig blieben. Chor der Eroberer Gazna lebe, es lebe der mächtige Fürst! Gazna Komm, kühner Held, und huld'ge mir, Willst du umsonst dein Blut verspritzen? Dein eitles Kämpfen kann nichts nützen, Komm, dein Leben schenk'ich dir! Der Jüngling Du schlugst des Landes Bürger, Du meiner Brüder Würger Dir diesen letzten Pfeil! Gazna Das sollst du büßen!

Ténor solo Et, seul, se tient un jeune homme Le sang coule de ses blessures nombreuses, Il ne courbe pas la nuque sous le joug, Un lion, cerné par des chiens de chasse, Déjà à l'essaim des ennemis son épée A écrit des lettres sanglantes, Que son cœur et son bras ne plient pas, Une flèche unique lui est restée . Chœur des conquérants Vive Gazna, le puissant prince ! Gazna Viens, héros intrépide, et présente-moi ton hommage, Pourquoi voudrais-tu faire couler en vain ton sang ? Ton vain combat ne mène à rien, Viens, je te fais grâce de ta vie ! Le jeune homme Tu as frappé les habitants de mon pays, Toi, assassin de mes frères -- Pour toi est ma dernière flèche ! Gazna Tu devras l'expier !
