8. Aria S (Chorus II)
Blute nur, du liebes Herz!
Bleed out, you loving heart!
Ach, ein Kind, das du erzogen,
Alas! A child that you raised,
das an deiner Brust gesogen,
that nursed at your breast,
droht den Pfleger zu ermorden,
threatens to murder its caretaker,
denn es ist zur Schlange worden.
since it has become a serpent.
