Lyrics & English Translation
LADY MACBETH
There's still a spot here.
Away, I tell you, curse you!
One, two, it is time!
Are you shaking? Don't you dare go in?
A soldier and so cowardly?
Shame! Come on, hurry!
Who would have thought that there would be
So much blood in that old man?
DOCTOR
What did she say?
LADY MACBETH
The Thane of Fife
Was he not recently a husband and father?
What happened?
GENTLEWOMAN and DOCTOR
Oh, horror!
LADY MACBETH
(looking at her hands)
Shall I never be able
To clean these hands?
There's still human blood here.
The perfumes
Of all Arabia could not clean
This little hand.
Alas!
DOCTOR
Is she moaning?
LADY MACBETH
Put on your nightgown.
Come on, wash yourself!
Banquo is dead and no-one
Has ever come back from the grave.
DOCTOR
This too?
LADY MACBETH
To bed, to bed ...
What's done cannot be undone.
Someone is knocking! Come on, Macbeth,
Do not let your pallor accuse you.
GENTLEWOMAN and DOCTOR
Oh, horror!
Lord, have mercy on her!
