Where is Venusberg? Gloria in excelsis Deo, I am finally out of that den of evil. The fresh and sweet air, The sweet flute of a shepherd, The firm step of pilgrims... [Pre-chorus] [Pilgrims, echoing from a distance] * Zu dir wall ich, mein Jesus Christ, * der du des Pilgers Hoffnung bist! * Gelobt sei, Jungfrau süss und rein, * der Wallfahrt wolle günstig sein! [Vorspiel - 2 bars] [Verse 2] [Minessanger choir] * Who this might be? * A penitent is it? * Heinrich? Heinrich? Is it thee? * Indeed 'tis thee? * Where hast thou been? [Tannhäuser] Tannhäuser hath been In a place he wisheth not to reveal. A distant, faraway place Far fro Lord's grace. Anderes Strand, anderes Land. Tannhäuser is now out. Praise be the Lord for that!... [Pre-chorus] [Minessanger choir] * Dost thou not know * How unfortunate our company * Hath been without thee? * Not that hast come back, * Rejoin us. * Rejoin us... * Rejoin us... * Rejoin us... [Tannhäuser] Tannhäuser beareth the taint of sin And wishes not to transmit it. Go yer way and pass Tannhäuser by. [Minessanger choir] * Nay, nay, out of favour are we, * Our song doth not ring the same, * We insist reclinest into the wame * O'thy former company's midst. [Chorus] [Tannhäuser] Tannhäuser sayeth nay, Ye go yer way, Tannhäuser goeth his own. That is how things shall be From now on. That is how things must be Henceforth. That is what Tannhäuser wisheth Thenceforward. [Instrumental bridge - Ghammaz section with taqsim - 2 bars] [Ghammaz Section - non-lexical vocalizations - yodel] * Ииииииооооо-ииииииииоооо-ио-ио-иоооооо... * Ииииииооооо-ииииииииоооо-ио-ио-иоооооо... [Bridge, build tension] [Wolfram] Hear Wolfram out, oh Heinrich, Also known as Tannhäuser. Wolfram speaketh not as a rival, But knowest thou not that this chaste maiden Whose virtue hast thou encharmed Whether through song or spell Now doth witness her cheeks pale And her countenance dismayed? Come back so that we compete again, For we are sure to win next time. Come back for Elisabeth's sake. Come back so that her gaze Is once again Favourable to our band. [Vorspiel - 2 bars] [Verse 3] [Tannhäuser, overjoyed] The sweet song of spring, The abating o'woebetidings, This sweetest name doth resound Fro heaven to the ground. Lead Tannhäuser to her, Prithee, oh Wolfram, Lead the way And Tannhäuser will obey. [start fade out, slow down] [Outro] [Minessanger choir] * Er kehrt zurück, den wir verloren! * Ein Wunder hat ihn hergebracht. * Die ihm den Übermut beschworen, * gepriesen sei die holde Macht! * Nun lausche unsren Hochgesängen * von neuem der Gepriesnen Ohr! * Es tön in frohbelebten Klängen * das Lied aus jeder Brust hervor! [Vorspiel - 2 bars, fadeout] * Ииииииооооо-ииииииииоооо-ио-ио-иоооооо... * Ииииииооооо-ииииииииоооо-ио-ио-иоооооо... [end]
