("Dio, Clemenza e Rigore", Track 7)

Clemenza:
Entreat shall I for the cluster of henna.

Rigore:
Defeat shall I the cluster of henna.

Clemenza:
Desire shall I to lay out the ransom.

Rigore:
Incite and ignite shall I against ransom.

Clemenza:
Conceal shall I the people's secrets and none shall reveal.

Rigore:
Revile shall I the people's youth and strife shall I wield.

Clemenza:
Delight shall I in majesty and plenty.

Rigore:
Delight shall I in desolation and calamity.

Clemenza:
Redemption shall be taking wing.

Rigore:
Disastrous the day of taking wing.

Clemenza:
O tranquil God of song and, yea, of trumpet cheer.

Rigore:
O tranquil God of all travail and, yea, of drear.
