Поля

Softly on me;
Still through this chink
I look on their light.

[Beside himself.

While her sweet eyes I behold thus,
From the woman how can I part?

FAFNER

Hey! Come hither,
And stop me this cranny!

LOGE

Greedy grumblers!
Can ye not see
The gold is all gone?

FAFNER

Not the whole, friend!
On Wotan's finger
Shines a golden ring still;
Give that to close up the crevice!

WOTAN

What! Give my ring?

LOGE

Be ye counselled!
The Rhine-Maidens
Must have the gold;
Wotan will give them what theirs is.

FAFNER.

"Hey! Come hither,

And stop me this cranny!"

WOTAN

What nonsense is this?
The ring I won so hardly,
Undismayed I hold and will keep.

LOGE

Broken then
Must be the promise
I gave the maidens who grieved.

WOTAN

By thy promise I am not bound;
As booty mine is the ring.

FAFNER

Not so. The ring
Must go with the ransom.

WOTAN

Boldly ask what ye will:
It shall be granted;
But not for all
The world would I give you the ring.

FASOLT [Furious, pulls Freia from behind the hoard.

All is off!
The bargain stands:
Fair Freia ours is for ever!

FREIA

Help me! Help me!

FRICKA

Heartless God,
Grant it! Give way!

FROH

Keep not the gold back!

DONNER

Give them the ring too!

WOTAN

Let me alone!
I hold to the ring.
