AIDA entra cautamente Qui Radamès verrà! Che vorrà dirmi? Io tremo Ah! se tu vieni A recarmi, o crudel, l'ultimo addio, Del Nilo i cupi vortici Mi daran tomba e pace forse, e oblio. O patria mia, mai più ti revedrò! O cieli azzurri, o dolci aure native, Dove sereno il nio mattin brillò, O verdi colli, o profumate rive, AIDA Thy brow may laurels crown! what! can my lips Pronounce language so impious! wish him Victor o'er my father! o'er him who wages war But that I may be restored to my country, To my kingdom, to the high station I now perforce dissemble! wish him conqueror O'er my brothers! e'en now I see him stained With their blood so cherished, 'mid the clamorous Triumph of Egyptian battalions!
