Текст песни 6 Richard Wagner - Akt 1 - Des Ritters will ich waren

Elsa (firmly)
With me is my knight -
I will save the honor in battle!

(Without turning)

My shield - the ambassador of heaven -
Get the power in the land:
He is my homeland
Crown give!
And I'll be happy,
When it all will take -
When my wife
Love will call!

All the men (among themselves)
A priceless gift - whether it is in the hands of the Creator!
But who dares? No, I do not find a fighter!

King
High sun - close to noon!
So, it's time to call the fighters to battle!

(Herald four trumpeters comes forward. He tells them to be at the edge of the circle of justice, turn to face the four cardinal points and trumpet call.)

Herald
Who to us here at God's judgment has come,
To protect Elsa - one out!

(Silence. - Elsa, which remained until now quite late, beginning to show concern waiting.)
