TURANDOT
Who gave your heart
such strength?

LIÙ
Love, Princess!

TURANDOT
Love?

LIÙ
Such love, secret and unconfessed,
so great that these torments
are sweet for me,
because I make a gift of them
for my lord...
because, keeping silent, I give him
your love...
I give you him, Princess,
and I lose everything!
Even my impossible hope!...
Bind me! Torture me!
Give me torments and pain!
Ah! the supreme gift
of my love!
