Hannibal Lyrics

Chorus:
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

Piangi:
Sad to return to find the land we love
Threatened once more by Rome's far-reaching grasp
Tomorrow we shall break the chains of Rome
Tonight rejoice, your army has come home
Carlotta:
Once more to my welcoming arms
My love returns in splendor

Piangi:
Once more to those sweetest of charms
My heart and soul surrender
Chorus:
The trumpeting elephants sound
Hear, Romans, now and tremble
Hark to their step on the ground
Hear the drums - Hannibal comes
