Rock-musical Ifigenia in Tauris - Song of Orestes

Сцена Орест с Пиладом прибывают в Тавриду
               

Pylades

So here we are my friend. What do you see?
These columns and these walls, this heathen’s altar…
Is this the place we’re looking for? It feels,
Like someone watches us from that darkness.


Orestes

Look up there! Are these signs of Greece?
The armours now adorn the panes of temple.
Yes, this is sanctuary of Artemis,
Apollo said to me I’ll find my heaven.


                Song of Orestes

I had blood
On my hands.
I had to run.
There was no place
I could call home.
I walked the lands,
I crossed the seas.
But I could not find peace for me.

So here we are
At front-door way,
In few steps of
The end of pain.
If we could climb
These stairs and steal
The idol of the Goddess here…
They could descend.
They draw their knives.
We better run and save our lives.


Pylades

Orestes, wait! What do you say?
The words of weak man, full of desperation.
It’s not the way for us - to run away.
I tell you that you must leave hesitations.

So here we are
At front-door way.
Wait for the night
To hide away.
And then we’ll climb
These stairs and steal
The idol of the Goddess here.
