• Lyrics:
  Azucena:
  Sì, la stanchezza m'opprime, o figlio;
  Alla quiete io chiudo il ciglio …
  Ma se del rogo arder si veda
  L'orrida fiamma, destami allor.
  
  Manrico:
  Riposa, o madre: io prono e muto
  La mente al cielo rivolgerò.
  
  Azucena:
  tra il sonno e la veglia
  Ai nostri monti ritorneremo …
  L'antica pace ivi godremo …
  Tu canterai sul tuo liuto …
  In sonno placido io dormirò …
  
  Manrico:
  Riposa, o madre: Iddio conceda
  Men tristi immagini al tuo sopor.

• Lyrics:
  Azucena:
  Yes, weariness weighs upon me, o my son.
  Now I shall go to sleep,
  but if you see the horrid flames
  rise up, then awaken me.
  
  Manrico:
  Rest now, mother — may God grant
  less melancholy visions to your slumber.
  
  Azucena:
  between sleeping and waking
  Again to our mountains we shall return,
  there we shall know the old, old peace.
  You will sing with your lute,
  and I shall rest in tranquil sleep.
  
  Manrico:
  Rest, o mother, while I lie here
  in silent prayer to God.
