Medea
I heard her voice, I heard the cries
Of that sad lady here from Colchis
Has she not calmed down yet?
Old nurse, tell me
I heard from a household servant in there
That she's been screaming I find
No pleasure in this suffering
Can lightning, strike me?
No point in life, any more
Come death and sweep me off!
Let me escape this life of pain!
Zeus, Earth and Sun
Do you hear how this young wife
Sings out her poor misery?
Thoughtless lady
Why long for death's marriage bed
Which all shun?
Death comes soon enough, bringing
An end to all
Great Themis and Artemis
Do you see what I endure
When I am the one who
Bound that cursed man
How I want to see
Him and his bride
Destroyed, beaten down, fell
Their whole house as well
For these wrongs they dare
Inflict on me
Father and city, oh I left you behind ah
In my disgrace when
I killed my brother
Great Themis and Artemis
Do you see what I endure
When I am the one who
Bound that cursed man
We wish to see
Her face to face
Hear what we
Have to tell her
You there, Medea
Scowling in anger
I order you out of Corinth
Go into exile
Great Themis and Artemis
Do you see what I endure
When I am the one who
Bound that cursed man
If people think of you
As greater than those men
Who seem quite wise
You will appear a nuisance
Medea
Of that sad lady here from Colchis
Has she not calmed down yet?
Old nurse, tell me
I heard from a household servant in there
That she's been screaming I find
No pleasure in this suffering
Can lightning, strike me?
No point in life, any more
Come death and sweep me off!
Let me escape this life of pain!
Zeus, Earth and Sun
Do you hear how this young wife
Sings out her poor misery?
Thoughtless lady
Why long for death's marriage bed
Which all shun?
Death comes soon enough, bringing
An end to all
Great Themis and Artemis
Do you see what I endure
When I am the one who
Bound that cursed man
How I want to see
Him and his bride
Destroyed, beaten down, fell
Their whole house as well
For these wrongs they dare
Inflict on me
Father and city, oh I left you behind ah
In my disgrace when
I killed my brother
Great Themis and Artemis
Do you see what I endure
When I am the one who
Bound that cursed man
We wish to see
Her face to face
Hear what we
Have to tell her
You there, Medea
Scowling in anger
I order you out of Corinth
Go into exile
Great Themis and Artemis
Do you see what I endure
When I am the one who
Bound that cursed man
If people think of you
As greater than those men
Who seem quite wise
You will appear a nuisance
Medea
