O rendetemi la speme - Qui la voce sua soave

ELVIRA
(from behind)
Give me back hope,
or let me die!

GIORGIO
She's coming... do you hear her?

GIORGIO, RICCARDO
Oh! How heavy the sound of her cries!

(Elvira exits disheveled. Her face, gaze, and every
step of Elvira reveal her madness.)

ELVIRA
Here her sweet voice
was calling me...
and then disappeared.
Here she swore to be faithful,
here she swore,
and then cruelly
fled from me!

Ah! Never again absorbed together
in the joy of sighs.
Ah! Give me back hope,
or let me die.
