Al ben de' tuoi qual vittima, Raimondo's aria from Lucia di Lammermoor


Al ben de' tuoi qual vittima 	For the good of your family
offri, Lucia, te stessa;     	Lucia, offer yourself as a victim;
e tanto sacrificio           	and so great a sacrifice
scritto nel ciel sarà....    	will be written in heaven.
Se la pietà degl'uomini      	Though men's mercy
a te non fia concessa,       	may be denied yuo, 
v'è un Dio, che tergere      	there is a God,
il pianto tuo saprà.         	who will wipe your tears.
