Letra de Eumenides

I, schooled in many miseries, have learnt

How many refuges of cleansing shrines

And when imposeth silence. Lo, I stand

Fixed now to speak, for he whose word is wise

Commands the same

Thee not Apollo nor Athena's strength

Can save from perishing

Woe, for of choice he did his mother slay

– So the price of blood, his hands have shed

CHORUS:

Hear the hymn of hell,

Over the victim sounding,-

Chant of frenzy, chant of ill,

Sense and will confounding!

Round the soul entwining

Without lute or lyre -

Soul in madness pining

Wasting as with fire!

O child of Zeus, one word shall tell thee all

We are the children of eternal Night,

And Furies in the underworld are called

I slew her. I deny no word hereof

Drawn sword in hand, I gashed her neck. ('Tis told.)

Whatever thou art, in this my city's name,

As uncondemned, I take thee to my side

Behold, this man is free from guilt of blood

For half the votes condemn him, half set free!

Now, now ring out your chant, your joy's acclaim!

Let holy hands libations bear,

And torches' sacred flame.

All-seeing Zeus and Fate come down

To battle fair for Pallas' town!

Ring out your chant, ring out your joy's acclaim!

CHORUS
