Il Gladiatore
Luciano Pavarotti
The Gladiator
You came to me in a dream one day far away,
You told me this will be your future,
And justice will be done by your hand
Against a ruthless and corrupt son.
A commander will find himself a slave,
And a slave will become a gladiator.
And crossing lands and pain
He will even challenge the emperor.
To die for you
Is my destiny.
Rome, the beautiful goddess
Has decided for me.
In silence but with a strong soul
I feel time dragging me towards death.
I have seen too much slaughter and my heart languishes.
I will avenge my brothers with blood.
This I promise to you.
To die for you
Is my destiny.
Rome, the beautiful goddess
Has decided for me.
I swear forever to you
To live, to die for you.
If you are with me, I know,
Goddess Roma, I will win!
And victory will be mine.
Goddess Roma, I will win, I will win
