Se Quel Guerrier Io Fossi!... Celeste Aida

If that warrior
I were! if my dream
came true!... An army of brave
led by me... and victory... and the applause
of all Memphis! And to you, my sweet Aida,
return crowned with laurels...
Tell you: for you I have fought, for you I have won!

Celestial Aida, divine form.
Mystical garland of light and flowers,
You are the queen of my thoughts,
You are the splendor of my life.

I would like to give back your beautiful sky,
The sweet breezes of the homeland;
Place a royal garland on your head,
Raise you a throne next to the sun.
