| Brünnhilde
|
- I lead thee
- To Wotan;
- The lot he has cast:
To Walhall must thou come.
|
| Siegmund
|
- In Walhall’s hall
- Wotan alone shall I find?
|
| Brünnhilde
|
- A glorious host
- Of heroes slain
- Will greet thee there
With love holy and high.
|
| Siegmund
|
- Say if in Walhall
Sojourns my father, Wälse.
|
| Brünnhilde
|
- His father there
- Will the Wälsung find.
|
| Siegmund
Tenderly.
|
- Will any woman
- Welcome me there?
|
| Brünnhilde
|
- Wishmaidens
- Serve there serene:
- Wotan’s daughter
Wine will bring for thy cup.
|
| Siegmund
|
- High art thou
- And holy of aspect,
- O Wotan’s child:
But one thing tell me, divine one!
- The sister and bride,
- Shall she follow the brother ?
Will Siegmund find Sieglinde there?
|
| Brünnhilde
|
- Air of earth
- Still she must breathe here;
Siegmund will find no Sieglinde there!
