La Bohème, Act I, Scene 1: O Soave Fanciulla
Rachel Willis-Sørensen
4:01We hold these truths to be self-evident That all men are created equal And we are endowed by our Creator With certain inalienable rights Among these are Life, Liberty, And the pursuit of happiness. Life! Liberty! With faith in God We pledge our lives Our fortunes And our sacred honor. To assume among the powers of the earth The separate and equal station To which the laws of Nature And Nature’s God entitle them.
