Lyrics and translation David Parry feat. London Philharmonic Choir, The London Chorus & London Philharmonic Orchestra - Nabucco: Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves "Va', pensiero, sull'ali dorate"




Nabucco: Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves "Va', pensiero, sull'ali dorate"
Nabucco: Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves "Va', pensiero, sull'ali dorate"
Va, pensiero, sull′ali dorate;
Fly, my thoughts, on golden wings;
Va, ti posa sui clivi, sui colli,
Fly, alight on the hills and slopes,
Ove olezzano tepide e molli
Where the gentle and soft breezes
L'aure dolci del suolo natal!
Of my native land are fragrant!
Del Giordano le rive saluta,
Greet the banks of the Jordan River,
Di Sionne le torri atterrate...
The fallen towers of Zion...
O, mia patria, bella e perduta!
Oh, my homeland, so beautiful and lost!
O, membranza, cara e fatal!
Oh, memory, so dear and fatal!
Arpa d′or dei fatidici vati,
Golden harp of the prophetic poets,
Perché muta dal salice pendi?
Why do you hang silent from the willow tree?
Le memorie nel petto raccendi,
Rekindle the memories in my breast,
Ci favella del tempo che fu!
Tell us about the times that were!
O simile di Sòlima ai fati
Oh, like the fates of Jerusalem
Traggi un suono di crudo lamento,
Draw forth a sound of cruel lament,
O t'ispiri il Signore un concento
Or may the Lord inspire you with a song
Che ne infonda al patire virtù.
That infuses us with virtue in our suffering.
