Kathleen Battle (born August 13, 1948), is an African-American operatic soprano known for her agile and light voice and her silvery, pure tone. Battle initially became known for her work within the concert repertoire through performances with major orchestras during the early and mid-1970s. She made her opera debut in 1975. Battle expanded her repertoire into light lyric soprano and lyric coloratura soprano roles during the 1980s and early 1990s. Although she no longer appears in operas, Battle remains active in concert and recital performances... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kathleen_Battle


Lyrics & English Translation

Stay in your harem!
I will rule over Egypt.

Yet why despair?
Yet why despair who knows?
Your kingdoms pass you by...
You will gain a maidens heart...
Your kingdoms pass you by...
Who knows... who knows?

See! This gruesome blushing rouge...
With bitter lascivious eye!
Seems to console a lover's smart...
And let those roguish eyes console a lovers smart!

Yet why despair who knows?
Your kingdoms pass you by...
You will gain a maidens heart...
Your kingdoms pass you by...
Who knows... who knows?
