Norma / Act 1: Casta Diva
Casta Diva, che inargentiO pure Goddess, who silver
queste sacre antiche piante, These sacred ancient plants,
a noi volgi il bel sembianteTurn thy beautiful semblance on us
senza nube e senza vel... Unclouded and unveiled...
Tempra, o Diva, Temper, o Goddess,
tempra tu de cori ardentiThe brave zeal
tempra ancora lo zelo audace, Of the ardent spirits,
spargi in terra quella pace Scatter on the earth the peace
che regnar tu fai nel ciel... Thou make reign in the sky...
Fine al rito: e il sacro boscoComplete the rite: and the sacred wood
Sia disgombro dai profani.Be clear of the laity.
Quando il Nume irato e fosco, When the irate and gloomy God
Chiegga il sangue dei Romani, Asks for the Romans blood
Dal Druidico delubro My voice will thunder
La mia voce tuonerà.From the Druidic temple.
Cadrà; punirlo io posso.He will fall; I can punish him
(Ma, punirlo, il cor non sa.(But my heart is unable to do so).
Ah! bello a me ritorna (Ah! Return to me beautiful
Del fido amor primiero; In your first true love;
E contro il mondo intiero... Ill protect you
Difesa a te sarò.Against the entire world.
Ah! bello a me ritorna Ah! Return to me beautiful
Del raggio tuo sereno; With your serene ray;
E vita nel tuo seno, Ill have life, sky
E patria e cielo avrò.And homeland in your heart.
Ah, riedi ancora qual eri allora, Ah, return again as you were then,
Quando il cor ti diedi allora, When I gave you my heart then,
Ah, riedi a me.)
