Und einsam steht ein Jüngling noch
Language: German (Deutsch)
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!
Note: this text is a translation of part of Thomas Moore's Paradise and the Peri.

Soltanto un giovane ancora resiste
Language: Italian (Italiano) after the German (Deutsch)
Tenore solo Soltanto un giovane ancora resiste, mentre sangue gli scorre da molte ferite, senza piegare la testa sotto il giogo, pari a un leone, circondato da cani da caccia. Già la sua spada, nella schiera nemica, lo ha inciso a lettere di sangue, che a lui indomiti sono il cuore e il braccio, ma solo una freccia ora gli resta. Coro dei conquistatori Evviva Gazna, evviva il potente principe! Gazna Avvicinati, eroe temerario, e rendimi omaggio, vuoi forse versare inutilmente il tuo sangue? A nulla giova il tuo vano combattere, vieni, e ti farò grazia della vita! Il giovane Hai sterminato gli abitanti di questo paese Tu, macellaio dei miei fratelli - A te è destinata la mia ultima freccia! Gazna Questa risposta ti costerà cara!
