Overture (Live at the Royal Albert Hall) - Andrew Lloyd Webber
This trophy from our saviours,
from our saviours from the enslaving force of Rome!
With feasting and dancing and song,
tonight in celebration,
We greet the victorious throng,
returned to bring salvation!
The trumpets of Carthage resound! Hear,
Romans, now and tremble!
Hark to our step on the ground!
Hear the drums, Hannibal comes!
Sad to return to find the land we love,
threatened once more by Roma's far-reaching grasp
No no no no!
Senor if you please! Rome
Me say Rome
Roma? Rome, Rome is very hard
Well once again from "Sad to return" (very very hard)
Please (Rome) senor
Sad to return to find the land we love,
threatened once more by Rome's far-reaching grasp
Tomorrow we shall brighten the chimes of Rome,
til I rejoice your army has come home
Bid welcome to Hannibal's guests, the elephants of Carthage!
As guides on our conquering quests, Dido sends Hannibal's friends!
Once more to the welcoming arms, my love return in splendour!
Once more to the sweetness of charms
My heart and soul sorrounder.
The trumpeting elephants sound, hear, Romans, now and tremble!
Hark to their step on the ground, hear the drums! Hannibal comes!
