Lohengrin : Merciful, merciful – gentle swan!...Cross again – the wide ocean...Go, return – to the holy sanctuary,Where does not penetrate - the human gaze!...I fulfill the pact you have with honor,Goodbye... goodbye, singing swan! (Act I) Lohengrin : (looking at the sky as if inspired)Far from you, in an unknown landThere is a castle, which is called Monsalvato:There a sacred temple, a greenhouse forest ,With peerless gems and gold adorned.There a cup, which is a gift from heaven,Looked at as a relic of the Lord,To them who are champions of virtue, >An angel carried it on golden wings!Every year a dove comes from heavenTo renew its holy power!It is the Holy Grail, and strength and holy zeal He instills in the bosom of his knights.
