歌词英文翻译:
The vengeance of Hell boils in my heart,
Death and despair flame around me!
If Sarastro does not through you feel the pain of death,
Then you will be my daughter nevermore.
Disowned may you be forever,
Abandoned may you be forever,
Destroyed be forever
All the bonds of nature,
If not through you Sarastro becomes pale! (as death)
Hear, Gods of Revenge, hear a mother's oath!
Rest peacefully, sweet love of my life,
Sleep 'till you re-awake in happiness!
Here, I give you a picture of me,
See how lovingly it smiles at you;
Oh, let those sweet dreams cradle him,
And finally let
All sensual things he desires
Come to rich fruition.
Zaide comes upon Gomatz sleeping under a tree. She admires his good looks and leaves him jewels, money, a portrait of her and a letter asking him to meet her later in that same spot. She then sings that he should sleep until he awakes with happiness.
She hopes that her tears will bring his wishes to reality.
