Excerto do libreto, com os agradecimentos a José Moura:
Vaudemont
So deep in your heart there is no desire
To see Light the glory of the Universe?
Iolanta
What does mean “to see”?
Vaudemont
To embrace God’s Light
To embrace shining light
Iolanta
Knight, what is Light?
Vaudemont
The splendid prime of creation,
The first gift by the Creator to the world,
A manifestation of God’s glory
The best jewel in His crown.
The shine of the sun, sky, stars
Imbues the world on the Earth,
The whole nature and creatures
With awesome beauty.
Those who do not know a blessing of Light
Can not love so much.
The God’s world shrouded in darkness
Revere God in darkness as in light.
I unworthy have come to know
You oh maiden of beauty
Your girlish slender figure,
Your lovely image and features
Yes it was the prime of the creation,
The best gift given by the Creator to the World.
