6. Go to the hills, Druids, go to watch the heavens, when the new moon reveals her silvery disk…

8. …with the first smile of her virgin face, let the sacred gong ring three times.

9. - Will Norma come to cut the sacred mistletoe? - Yes, Norma will come.

11. Inspire her with thy prophetic spirit, awesome god, Irminsul, inspire in her rage and hate for the Romans…

12. …inspire feelings to make her break this peace which is so deadly to us.

13. Yes, he will speak in anger from these ancient oaks; He will free Gaul of the hated Roman eagles…

14. …and the thunderous crash of the Roman shields, will resound in the city of the Caesars!

16. Moon, hasten to appear! Norma shall come to the altar!

18. Their voices have died off… the path to the fearsome woods is free.

19. - Death is in that wood. Norma told you
- Death is in that wood. Norma told you. - You’ve spoken a name that chills my heart.

20. What are you saying? Your mistress, the mother of your children!

21. You can make no reproach that I don’t already feel; but in my heart the flame of that first love is extinguished…

22. …and a god, the enemy of my peace, extinguished it
…and a god, the enemy of my peace, extinguished it. I see the abyss open at my feet and I cast myself into it.

23. You love another woman?

24. Speak softly. Another, yes… Adalgisa… You’ll see her… flower of innocence, laughter of purity and love.

25. A temple priestess for this blood-thirsty god, yet she seems a ray of starlight in a troubled sky.

26. - Wretched friend! Does she love you in return? - I am sure of it.

27. - And do you not fear Norma’s wrath
- And do you not fear Norma’s wrath? - It will be horrible, as my remorse already shows me…

28. - a dream… - Tell me. - I tremble at the memory of it!

29. Adalgisa was together with me in Rome at Venus’ altar, clad in pure white, with flowers in her hair;

30. I was listening to the wedding hymns, I saw the incense, and my senses were enraptured with voluptuous love…

31. Suddenly between us came a terrible shadow, with smoke enfolding it in its great Druidic mantle…

32. Lightning strikes the altar, the day is veiled in darkness, and a tomb-like horror spreads around us.
