Overture and opening credits
A serpent! A monster! How can I escape now?
Where am I? I'm Papageno, that's my name.
Dialogue: You there! Tell me, friend, who are you? A bird?
This portrait's beauty I adore
Dialogue: Prince Tamino, you must know she kidnapped
Be not afraid. Good Prince arise ; My fate is grief and lamentation
Can all this be true? Hm! Hm! Hm! Hm!
She has escaped! Pamina's escaped!
Dialogue: Who are you? You saved me!
You'll find your journey's end this way
Who comes now to the temple door?
Oh, endless night! My heart is aching!
How soft, how sweet, your magic tone
Tip-toe, tip-toe! Hold your breath!
Long life to Sarastro. All hail Sarastro!
Sir! I kneel before you
Conceited Princeling, if you please. Behold my master! On your knees!
Dialogue: My brothers, we have have dedicated ourselves to the future of human kind
O Isis and Osiris
Dialogue: What a terrible night!
Why stay in the dark of night?
Dialogue: Prince, you have kept your word.
Aha! Here's my stubborn beauty! Men were born to be great lovers
Dialogue: Begone! ; Mother! Oh, Mother!
Here in my heart, Hell's bitterness is seething.
Dialogue: I cannot! Why are you trembling?
Within our sacred temple
Dialogue: We shall leave you here, Prince Tamino
We bid you welcome a second time
Dialogue: Aren't you hungry, Tamino?
Now my heart is filled with sadness
Dialogue: You see, Tamino. I can keep still when I have to.
A cuddly wife or sweetheart is Papageno's wish
Dialogue: Here I am, lovey-dovey!
No fear of death or doom can daunt me
Tamino mine, I'm here at last!
The trial (March): The flute protected us from fire
Papagena! Papagena! Papagena!
Pa- Pa- Pa- Papagena
Now to the temple doors ; The sun's golden splendor has banished the night!
