STRIDE LA VAMPA
Stride la vampa! - The crackling flame fizzles!
la folla indomita the unyielding crowd
corre a quel fuoco - runs to that fire -
lieta in sembianza; looking happy;
urli di gioia - Merry shouts
intorno echeggiano: echo all around;
cinta di sgherri - escorted by guards
donna s’avanza! a woman goes forth
Sinistra splende - Foreboding shines
sui volti orribili on those terrible faces
la tetra fiamma - the gloomy flame
che s'alza al ciel! reaches up to the sky!
Stride la vampa! The crackling flame fizzles!
giunge la vittima The victim arrives,
nerovestita, - clad in black
discinta e scalza! half-dressed, barefoot!
Grido feroce - a ferocious cry
di morte levasi; of death rises.
l'eco il ripete - the echo repeats
di balza in balza! it all along the cliffs!
Sinistra splende - Foreboding shines
sui volti orribili on those terrible faces
la tetra fiamma - the gloomy flame
che s'alza al ciel! reaches up to the sky!
