Per me, ora fatale, the Count's aria from Il Trovatore

Per me, ora fatale,		Come to me, death,
i tuoi momenti affretta:	come swiftly:
la gioia che m' aspetta		the joy that awaits me
gioia mortal non รจ!		can only be reached in Heaven!
Invano un Dio rivale		In vain a hostile God -
s' oppone nemmeno un Dio,	not even a God -
donna, rapirti a me!		could steal you from me, woman!
