Levites: What can be wanted? Who summoned us...

to this place so late at night?

Ismaele: The pontiff summons you.

- Ismaele!

- Brothers!

- Horror! Away! Begone!

- I implore your mercy!

-Accursed of the Lord!

He who is accursed has no brothers;

no man on earth grant him a word!

Harsh lamentation everywhere arises;

the wind bears it to the wretch's ears!

On his brow, bright as the lightning,

shines God's fatal brand!

Poison is prepared for his lips in vain;

vainly the dagger would pierce his heart!

Poison is prepared for his lips in vain;

vainly the dagger would pierce his heart!

For love of the living God

be done with your curses!

Your fury is driving me mad!

Oh, death, for pity's sake!

Give me death, for pity's sake!

- Accursed of the Lord!

Give me death, for pity's sake!

- Accursed of the Lord!

- Forgive me!

Anna: Brothers, forgive him!

He saved a Judean woman!

Oh, what are you saying!

Zaccaria: Raise psalms of thanks to God everlasting!

It is true!

Fenena: But what a tumult is mounting!

Oh, heaven! What can it be?

Abdallo: Royal lady, flee!

That cry of ill omen...

announces the death of the king!

Oh, father!

Flee!

The people now call for Abigaille...

and condemn these men here.

Why do I tarry longer?

I must not stay here!

To the midst of the impious rebels...

I will hasten!

Stay! Oh, what a misfortune!

High Priest of Baal: Glory be to Abigaille!

Death to the Judeans!

Abigaille: Give me the crown!

I shall die first!

From my head take it!

12 Nabucco # 1, 02.01.2018 Act III, Sc 2 Va, pensiero - Duration: 5:37.

Fly, my thought, on the golden wings.

Fly to rest on the wooded hills,

where, fragrant and soft

are the gentle breezes of our native land!

Greet for me the banks of the Jordan river

and the toppled towers of Zion.

Oh, my homeland, so beautiful and so lost for me!

Oh, memories, so dear and yet so devastating!

Golden harp of our prophets,

why do you hang silently on the willow?

Rekindle the memories of our hearts,

and speak of times gone by!

Or, mindful of the fate of the Solomon's Temple,

emit a sound of inconsolable weeping!

And let the Lord inspire you for a melody,

that will give us strengths to endure our sufferings!

That will give us strengths to endure our sufferings!

Assyria is a queen

as powerful as Baal upon earth.

She deals destruction everywhere

if the stranger challenges her to war.

Now among the joys of peace,

worthy reward of valour,

she will pass her smiling days

in happiness and love.

Abigaille: (Who will return to me the lost enchantment...)

... return it even for one day?

Who comes here?

High Priest of Baal: My eyes have witnessed a terrible sight!

Of what do you speak?

Fenena is a wicked: she is setting the Judeans free!

Who now can check this accursed rabble?

Power awaits you.

How is that?

All is prepared.

We have already spread the rumor around...

that the king has fallen in battle.

The people call for you as queen...

to save the Assyrian land.

Only a step... fortune is yours!

I am with you! Go!

Oh, faithful subjects!

This woman shall not be less than you in courage!

I now ascend the bloodstained seat...

...of the golden throne.

From that seat I shall be able to take my revenge.

That the scepter is mine by right all peoples shall see!

Royal princesses will come here...

of the humble slave to beg favors!

Of the humble slave...

to beg favors!

And the vengeance of Baal will thunder alongside yours.

10 Act II, Finale - Cut Version, Nabucco # 1, 02 01 2018 - Duration: 1:50.

Fenena: A Judean, I shall die with them.

Nabucco: You lie! O wretched girl,

prostrate yourself before my image!

I have embraced the Judean faith!

Down! Prostrate yourself!

I am king no more;

I am God!

Who is it that takes my royal scepter from me?

What horrid specter is pursuing me?

Who seizes me, alas, by the hair?

Who is crushing me? Who is pushing me low?

Who will help me?

I am fainting...

Heaven has punished the boaster!

But the greatness of people of Baal...

shall not be extinguished!

12a Nabucco # 1, 02.01.2018 Act III, Sc 2 Zac's Prophecy - Duration: 3:46.

Oh, who is it that weeps?

Who is it that raises lamentations,

as of fearful women, to the Everlasting?

Oh, rise up,

brothers in anguish!

The Lord speaks from my lips!

In the obscurity of the future I see.

Behold, the shameful chains are broken!

Already falls upon the treacherous sand...

the wrath of the lion of Judah!

Oh, happy future!

To settle upon the skulls, upon the bones,

here come the hyenas and the snakes.

Midst the dust raised by the wind...

a doomed silence shall reign!

The owl alone will spread around its sad lament

when evening falls.

No stone shall stand to tell the stranger...

where once proud Babylon stood!

Oh, what a fire burns in this man!

The Lord speaks through his lips!

Yes, the shameful fetters shall be broken!

The courage of Judah is rousing already!
