O Voodoo Martian, my fathers from your graves avenge me
If you agree to work for us, Koanga
Agreed then, that’s a bargain
Oh gentle mistress, who always was kind to me
Now once in a way we are free for a day (2. Akt)
He will meet her when the sun goes down
How time flows on!
The hour is near, when I to him my soul surrender
Far, far away, Palmyra, my people mourn for me
Hail to thee, mighty prince!
Where is Palmyra?
Hear me, God Voodoo: I have betrayed my trust
Lento, molto tranquillo (3. Akt)
Ah! Ah! Onyame! Onyame!… Hougan, Hougan, Koanga comes
Come tell me, Rangwen, holy priest
Dance: Furioso – See, he prays! Voodoo must hear him

Fools you are to weep and wail!
Ah! Tell me where Koanga is!

I cannot bear the sight!
My lord Koanga dead!
