Die Peri sah das Mal der Wunde
Language: German (Deutsch)
Tenor-Solo Die Peri sah das Mal der Wunde, Und nun vertobt des Kampfes Wut, Kam sie im Strahl des Morgenrots Und nahm das letzte Tröpflein Blut, Das aus dem Heldenherzen drang, Eh' sich der freie Geist entschwang. Die Peri, Vokalquartett und Chor Sei dies mein Geschenk, Willkommen dorten An Edens Pforten! Denn heilig ist das Blut, Für die Freiheit verspritzt vom Heldenmut, Und würde nicht trüben die klarste Flut, Die durch die Haine der Sel'gen fließt! O, gibt es ein Opfer der Erdenwelt, Ein Geschenk, das teuer der Himmel hält, 'S ist das Blut, das der Freiheit sterbender Sohn Ihr bringt als letzte Libation! Sei dies mein/dein Geschenk, Willkommen dorten!

Scorse la Peri la macchia della ferita
Language: Italian (Italiano) after the German (Deutsch)
Tenore solo Scorse la Peri la macchia della ferita, e, cessato l'infuriare della battaglia, giunse con il primo raggio dell'aurora, e colse l'ultima goccia di sangue che era sgorgata dal cuore dell'eroe, prima che l'anima lo abbandonasse. La Peri, Quartetto vocale e Coro Che questo mio dono sia bene accolto presso le porte dell'Eden! Ché cosa sacra è il sangue versato per la libertà da un eroe coraggioso, e non intorbiderebbe le limpidissime acque, che attraversano i boschi dei beati! Oh, se esiste un sacrificio del mondo terreno, che, come un dono, è caro al cielo, questo è il sangue che un figlio morente per la libertà offre come ultima libagione! Che questo sia il mio/tuo dono, che là sia bene accolto!
