Guilthee Manna Di San Nikola Lyrics

[SCENE II]
[The final exam of young Hermes. Bridal party in Naples.]

[THE MASTER]
[Offering the poison to the bride.]
Aqua Toffana.
Would you take it from me?
Drink it if you need it for free!

[HERMES]
Now we made the pain all vanish.
With this elixir kill the Spanish!
You will know the time is right now.
On the yard he is milking the cow.

[THE MASTER]
Now we made the pain all vanish.
With this elixir kill the Spanish!
You will know the time is right now.
On the yard he is milking the cow.

[RED-HAND SUCCUBUS]
Mense majo nubut malae.

[SUCCUBI AND HERMES]
Manna di San Nikola.
Nessuno nasce maestro.

[THE MASTER To Hermes.] Mark my words young disciple,
If you want to be a mage!

[HERMES Speaking to himself.]
Now prepare the poison, youngster!
Let they taste our fearless power.
You will know the time is right now.
The bridal party has to die now.

[THE MASTER]
Now we made the pain all vanish.
With this elixir kill the Spanish!

[To Hermes.]
For making a poison you don’t need reason.
It is implicit.
Heart of the maiden, tongue of the raven
It is all you need. Repeat!

[HERMES Obediently.]
For making a poison I don’t need reason.
It is implicit.
Heart of the maiden, tongue of the raven
It is all I need.
