Paroles et traduction Gioachino Rossini, Sherrill Milnes & Riccardo Chailly - William Tell : "Resta immobile"

William Tell : "Resta immobile"

Resta immobile, e vêr la terra inchina
Un ginocchio a pregar
Invoca Iddio, invoca Iddio
Ché, sol per suo favore
Al sen tornar potrai del genitore
Così rimanti col guardo fiso al ciel
Così rimanti col guardo fiso al ciel

Tu per amore vacillar potresti
Vedendo contro te lanciar l'acuto stral
Un moto sol potria
La vita a noi costar

Jemmy, Jemmy, pensa a tua madre
Che ci attende insiem
Jemmy, Jemmy, pensa a tua madre
Che ci attende

Pensa a tua madre, insiem

William Tell : "Resta immobile"

Remain immobile, and watch the land bow down
On one knee to pray
Call on God, call on God
For only through His favor
Can you return to the bosom of your father
So remain with your gaze fixed on heaven
So remain with your gaze fixed on heaven

You might falter because of love
Seeing the sharp arrow launched against you
One single movement could
Cost us our lives

Jemmy, Jemmy, think of your mother
Who awaits us together
Jemmy, Jemmy, think of your mother
Who awaits us

Think of your mother, together
