Testo di Rheingold

In the depths of the river Deep in the waves Three rhinemaidens are singing Songs of the brave An ugly dwarf Greedy with pleasure Desires the gold, Tries to steal the treasure Guardians of the holy treasure No cheat should steal it from the river Gleaming glow in the water's depth Shines brightly, bravely through the waves Rheingold, Rheingold Rheingold, Rheingold Who denies love Who forfeits its power Can attain the magic To forge a ring If you are enarmoured And longing for love Let's see my handsome What you look like Guardians of the holy treasure No cheat should steal it from the river Gleaming glow in the water's depth Shines brightly, bravely through the waves Rheingold, Rheingold Rheingold, Rheingold Aren't you afraid Brood of the waters Then conquer the dark, And I'll put out your light I wrench the gold from the rock Forge the ring of revenge For hell and the devil I curse my love Guardians of the holy treasure No cheat should steal it from the river Who from the Rheingold will fashion the ring Win the world's wealth and will be king
