Courtiers, Vile Damned Race (Rigoletto)

Courtiers, vile damned race
For what price did you sell my beloved?
To you, nothing is unsuitable for gold!
But my daughter? An invaluable treasure
You make her return, or even if defenseless
This hand for you would be bloody
Nothing on earth is more feared by man
If he defends the honor of his children

That door, murderers, murderers
Open it for me, the door, the door
Murderers, open it for me
Ah! You all come against me!
All against me! Ah!
Well, I cry, Marullo, Sir
You, who have a noble soul like your heart
Tell me, where have they hidden her?
Marullo... Sir
Tell me, where have they hidden her? Is it not true? Is it not true?
You are silent! Alas!
My lords. Forgive, have mercy
Give back the daughter to the old man
To give her back to you now costs nothing
To you now costs nothing, everything
Everything in the world? Such a daughter for me

Lords, forgive, forgive, mercy
Give me back the daughter
Everything in the world? Such a daughter for me
Give me back the daughter
Everything in the world she is to me
Mercy, mercy, lords
Mercy, lords, mercy
