paroles de chanson Hercules, HWV 60, Act III: "Where shall I fly" - English Chamber Orchestra , Dame Janet Baker

Where shall I fly?
Where hide this guilty head?
Oh, fatal error
Oh, fatal error of misguided love
Foreign_language Wretched hour!
On thee Alcides dies
These impious hands have sent my injured lord untimely to the shades
Let me be bound!
Chain me, if you will, to your iron bands, and
Lash my guilty breast with whips of scorpion
See, see they come, Ganyta with her
Snakes, Gera fell, and black Tisiphone
See the dreadful sisters rise
Their baneful presence taints the skies
See, see, see, see the dreadful sisters rise
Their baneful presence taints the skies
See, see the snaking whips they bear
With yelling rend my tortured ear, my tortured ear
Hide me, hide me from their hated sight
Friendly shades of blackest night
Hide me, hide me, friendly shades...
See, see the dreadful sisters rise
Their baneful presence taints the skies
See, see, see, see the snaking whips, the snaking whips they bear
With yelling rend my tortured ear
With yelling rend my tortured ear, my tortured ear
Hide me from their hated sight
Friendly shades of blackest night
Alas!
No rest the guilty find
From the pursuing furies of the mind
Alas!
No rest the guilty find
No rest the guilty find
Alas!
No rest the guilty find
From the pursuing furies of the mind
From the pursuing furies of the mind
Alas!
No rest the guilty find
No rest the guilty find
From the pursuing furies
No rest the guilty find
From the pursuing furies
From the pursuing furies of the mind
See, see, see, see the dreadful sisters rise
Their baneful presence taints the skies
See, see, see, see the dreadful sisters rise
Their baneful presence taints the skies
No rest the guilty find
No rest the guilty find
Alas!
Alas!
No rest the guilty find
From the pursuing furies
From the pursuing furies...
No rest the guilty find
No rest the guilty find
No rest he find, no rest he find
From the pursuing furies
From the pursuing furies of the mind
Alas, alas
No rest the guilty find
From the pursuing furies
From the pursuing furies of the mind
