Or tu comprendi... or sai<br />

Di quale amor t’amai!...<br />

Vivi!... Lo impongo a te...<br />

Salvatore - (inginocchiato presso Isabella)<br />

Ohimé! Tu mi abbandoni!...<br />

E a me la vita imponi!...<br />

La gloria, il genio, l’arte...<br />

Tutto fu spento in te.<br />

Duca - Invan fui da quest’angelo<br />

Assolto e perdonato...<br />

Rugge dal ciel sdegnato<br />

L’anatema su me.<br />

Gennariello - (a Salvatore)<br />

Fuggiam da queste porte...<br />

Qui sotto è infamia e morte...<br />

Vivi... alla patria... all’arte...<br />

Ella lo impose a te!<br />

Coro - (sottovoce con mestizia e terrore)<br />

Di Dio risali al trono<br />

Angelo del perdono...<br />

Isabella - Salvatore, addio!<br />

Salvatore - (con disperazione)Ahime!<br />

Morta... è la vita un arido<br />

Deserto omai per me!<br />

(Tutti si prostrano sul cadavere di Isabella)<br />

66<br />

Now you understand... now you know<br />

how much I love you!<br />

Live!... That’s what I want...<br />

Salvatore - (kneeling down by Isabella)<br />

Alas! You are leaving me!...<br />

And you want me to go on living!...<br />

Glory, talent, art...<br />

Everything is dying with you.<br />

Duke - In vain has this angel<br />

absolved and forgiven me...<br />

The angered heaven<br />

thunders its curse on me.<br />

Gennariello - (to Salvatore)<br />

Let’s flee from this place...<br />

full of abomination and death...<br />

You must live... for your motherland... for art...<br />

That’s what she wanted!<br />

Chorus - (sottovoce, sad and terrified)<br />

Return to God’s kingdom,<br />

angel of forgiveness...<br />

Isabella - Salvatore, farewell!<br />

Salvatore - (desperately)Alas!<br />

Dead... life is like a barren<br />

desert for me now!<br />

(All kneel around Isabella’s lifeless body)
