CARLOTTA:

     This trophy from our saviours, from our saviours!
     From the enslaving force of Rome!

GIRL'S CHORUS:

     With feasting and dancing and song, tonight in celebration, we greet
     the victorious throng, returned to bring salvation!

MEN'S CHORUS:

     The trumpets of Carthage resound! Hear, Romans, now and tremble! Hark
     to our step on the ground!

ALL:

     Hear the drums -- Hannibal comes!

PIANGI:

     Sad to return to find the land
     we love threatened once more by Roma's far-reaching grasp,

REYER:

     Signor . . . if you please: "Rome".
     We say "Rome' not "Roma"

PIANGI:

     Si, si, Rome, not Roma. Is very hard for me.

LEFEVRE:

     This way, gentlemen, this way.
     Rehearsals, as you see, are under way, for a new production of
     Chalumeau's "Hannibal".
     Ladies and gentlemen, some of you may already, perhaps, have met M.
     Andre and M. Firmin ...

REYER:

     I'm sorry, M. Lefevre, we are rehearsing.
     If you wouldn't mind waiting a moment?

LEFEVRE:

     My apologies, M. Reyer. Proceed, proceed ...

REYER:

     Thank you, monsieur.
     "Sad to return..." Signor ...

LEFEVRE:

     M. Reyer, our chief repetiteur. Rather a tyrant, I'm afraid.

PIANGI:

     Sad to return to find the land we love
     threatened once more by Rome's far-reaching grasp.
     Tomorrow, we shall break the chains of Rome.
     Tonight, rejoice - your army has come home.
