Die Zauberflöte (trio)
THE Magic Flute
TAMINO:
Help! Help, or I am lost!
Help! Help or I am lost, victim to a bright serpent, merciful gods!
Already it draws near!
Ah! Save me! Protect me!
THREE LADIES:
Die, monster, by our power!
Triumph! Triumph! The heroic deed is done!
He is freed through the bravery of our arms.
FIRST LADY:
A gentle youth, soft and beautiful!
SECOND LADY:
Such beauty I’ve never seen before!
THIRD LADY:
Yes, yes, certainly pretty as a picture!
THREE LADIES:
If I were to dedicate my heart to love, it would have to be this young man.
Let us hasten to our sovereign to give her this message. Perhaps this beautiful man can restore her lost peace.
FIRST LADY:
So go and tell her. I’ll stay here, meanwhile.
SECOND LADY:
No, no you go. I’ll keep watch over him!
THIRD LADY:
No, no, this cannot be. I’ll protect him alone.
FIRST LADY:
I’ll stay here
SECOND LADY:
I’ll keep watch over him.
THIRD LADY:
I’ll protect him alone.
FIRST LADY:
I’ll stay.
SECOND LADY:
I’ll watch.
THIRD LADY:
I’ll protect.
THREE LADIES:
I, I, I!
THIRD LADY:
I should go?
SECOND LADY:
I should go?
FIRST LADY:
I should go?
THREE LADIES:
Well, well! How fine! They want to be with him alone. No, no, this cannot be!
What would I not give if I could live with this young man.
If only I had him all alone.
But no one’s going.
It cannot be.
It’s best if I go now. I’ll go, I’ll go.
You young man, beautiful and loving.
You dear young man, farewell!
Until I see you again.
Until I see you again.
