Turandot - Liu's Death Scene

Turandot, 《图兰朵》,是普契尼的作品,故事发生在中国(元朝)且部分采用了中国民歌《茉莉花》的曲调,该剧也因此和中国结下不解之缘,多次在中国演出,比如1998年故宫版,以及今年的鸟巢版。

这里摘抄一段我最喜欢的词,公主图兰朵(Turandot)严刑逼供王子卡拉富(Calaf)的侍女柳儿(Liu),要她说出王子的名字。柳儿守口如瓶,以死保密。这一段可以说是整个歌剧矛盾的高潮体现,象征意义也非常明显,尤其体现在这个对话上:

是什么给了你的心如此的力量?
是爱,公主!

纵使层层冰霜将你围住,
也一定有火融化,
你早晚也会爱上他的!

这一段的视频或音频文件能在网上找到(或者听整个歌剧,这是在第三幕第一景),但词却不好找,再加上少有人懂意大利语,在这里给出意大利语词和英语翻译,供喜欢的人参考。意大利语特殊字符都被省掉了。
另外,电影《大卫戈尔的一生》里也在片尾使用了这一段,但很难确认是哪个演出版本,知道的可以回帖告诉一下。

          L'anima offesa si vendichera!        The offended spirit will take revenge!


p.s. 在意大利语中,amore,爱情,的最后一个元音发音类似于英语国际音标的[e],又稍微要重一些。

第一次听的时候,由于完全不懂意大利语,曾经以为“众人(The Crowd)”那一些部分是咏叹,后来才看到词是这样的,完全不是在咏叹柳儿的勇气,或爱情的真挚。但个人却一直觉得从音乐的角度的确有这种效果!
