Nabucco - Chorus: Va, Pensiero Sull'ali Dorate
Va', pensiero, sull'ali dorate;
Va, ti posa sui clivi, sui colli,
Ove olezzano tepide e molli
L'aure dolci del suolo natal!
Del Giordano le rive saluta,
Di Sionne le torri atterrate...
Oh, mia Patria sì bella e perduta!
Oh, membranza sì cara e fatal!
Arpa d'or dei fatidici vati,
Perché muta dal salice pendi?
Le memorie nel petto raccendi,
Ci favella del tempo che fu!
O simile di Solima ai fati,
Traggi un suono di crudo lamento;
O t'ispiri il Signore un concento
Che ne infonda al patire virtù!
Hasten thoughts on golden wings.
Hasten and rest on the densely wooded hills,
Where warm and fragrant and soft
Are the gentle breezes of our native land!
The banks of the Jordan we greet
And the towers of Zion.
Oh, my homeland, so beautiful and lost!
Oh, memories so dear and yet so deadly!
Golden harp of our prophets,
Why do you hang silently on the willow?
Rekindle the memories of our hearts,
And speak of the times gone by!
Or, like the fateful Solomon,
Draw a lament of raw sound;
Or permit the Lord to inspire us
To endure our suffering!
Va, ti posa sui clivi, sui colli,
Ove olezzano tepide e molli
L'aure dolci del suolo natal!
Del Giordano le rive saluta,
Di Sionne le torri atterrate...
Oh, mia Patria sì bella e perduta!
Oh, membranza sì cara e fatal!
Arpa d'or dei fatidici vati,
Perché muta dal salice pendi?
Le memorie nel petto raccendi,
Ci favella del tempo che fu!
O simile di Solima ai fati,
Traggi un suono di crudo lamento;
O t'ispiri il Signore un concento
Che ne infonda al patire virtù!
Hasten thoughts on golden wings.
Hasten and rest on the densely wooded hills,
Where warm and fragrant and soft
Are the gentle breezes of our native land!
The banks of the Jordan we greet
And the towers of Zion.
Oh, my homeland, so beautiful and lost!
Oh, memories so dear and yet so deadly!
Golden harp of our prophets,
Why do you hang silently on the willow?
Rekindle the memories of our hearts,
And speak of the times gone by!
Or, like the fateful Solomon,
Draw a lament of raw sound;
Or permit the Lord to inspire us
To endure our suffering!
