Oh yeah, you recognize that song?
It happens to be included in the music collection sent out into space on Voyager I.
Just in case you were wondering
what the Queen of the Night could be saying.
And here is what she actually sings:
(Thanks, Wikipedia)
Der Hölle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen,
Tod und Verzweiflung flammet um mich her! fühlt nicht durch dich Sarastro Todesschmerzen, so bist du meine Tochter nimmermehr. Verstoßen sei auf ewig, verlassen sei auf ewig, zertrümmert sei'n auf ewig alle Bande der Natur wenn nicht durch dich Sarastro wird erblassen! Hört, Rachegötter, hört der Mutter Schwur! |
Hell's vengeance boils in my heart;
Death and despair blaze around me! If Sarastro does not feel the pain of death because of you, Then you will be my daughter nevermore. Disowned be forever, Forsaken be forever, Shattered be forever All the bonds of nature If Sarastro does not turn pale [in death] because of you! Hear, gods of vengeance, hear the mother's oath! |
