Tre Sbirri, Una Carrozza...Va Tosca (Te Deum)
Sherrill Milnes
Three Cops, One Carriage...Go Tosca (Te Deum)
[Scarpia]
Three cops, one carriage
Quickly! Follow her
Wherever she goes!
Unseen! Provide!
[Spoletta]
It's good! The meeting?
[Scarpia]
Palazzo Farnese!
Go, Tosca! In your heart
Scarpia nests!
Go, Tosca!
It's Scarpia who sets free
The falcon of your jealousy
So much promise
In your quick suspicion!
In your heart
Scarpia nests!
Go, Tosca!
[Chapter]
Our help
In the name of the Lord
[Crowd]
Who made heaven and earth
[Chapter]
Blessed be the name of the Lord
[Crowd]
Both now and forever
[Scarpia]
With double aim
I stretch my will
Neither the head of the rebel
Is the most precious
Ah, to see the flame
Victorious in those eyes
Fade with love's spasm
In my arms
Fade with love
One to the gallows
The other in my arms
[Crowd]
We praise you, O God
We acknowledge you, O Lord!
[Scarpia]
Tosca, you make me forget God!
[All]
The eternal Father
All the earth worships!
