Aria taken from Act iii scene 2 well known as Mad Scene from the Opera: Lucia di Lammermoor by Gaetano Donizetti which is loosely based upon Sir Walter Scotts historical novel The Bride of Lammermoor. This is a novel, less theatrical and mesmerising interpretation of the master piece by Albanian singer Inva Mulan. TC The sweet sound of his voice struck me!Ah, that voice has entered my heart!Edgardo! I surrender to you, oh my Edgardo!I have escaped from your enemies.A chill creeps into my breast!Every fibre trembles!My foot falters!Sit down by the fountain with me a while!Alas, the tremendous phantom arises and separates us!Let us take refuge here, Edgardo, at the foot of the altar.It is scattered with roses! A heavenly harmony, tell me, do you not hear it?Ah, the marriage hymn is playing!They are preparing the rite for us! Oh, how happy I am!Oh joy that is felt but not said!The incense is burning!The holy torches are shining, shining around!Here is the minister!Give me your right hand!Oh joyful day!At last I am yours, at last you are mine,A god gives you to me.Let me shareThe greatest pleasures with you,A smile from merciful heaven,Life will be ours.
