- Tamino, Papageno, Första damen, Andra damen, Tredje damen: [singing] Oh that the lips of every liar, Could thus be sealed and locked for good, Instead of malice, hate, and ire, We would have love and brotherhood
- Papageno: [singing] Of course I'm happy in my trade, But I get lonesome for a maid, Alone I wander all day long, And only birds can hear my song, No girls come flocking 'round my feet, Although my melody is sweet, I want a maiden of my own, To have and keep for me alone,
- Papageno: [singing] A fowler gay in me you see, There are not many more like me, I am a well-known person here, Belov'd wherever I appear...
- Första damen: [singing] This is indeed a youth most fair
- Andra damen: Such beauty in a man is rare
- Tredje damen: Indeed, he has a graceful air
- Första damen, Andra damen, Tredje damen: Could I by love enchanted be, This youth alone could capture me, This youth alone could capture me...
- Tamino: [singing] The beauty of this wondrous face, Divine in all its tender grace, A feeling is aroused in me, A hope of bliss and ecstasy, I can't comprehend this wistful yearning...
- Första gossen, Andra gossen, Tredje gossen: [singing] Be steadfast, silent and obedient, Obey the rules and you will succeed..
- Tamino: [singing] What power in your gentle voice, Sweet flute of magic, For your tones so soft and tender, A heaven here on earth together, What power in your gentle sound, You voice is full of magic splendor, For your tones so soft engender, On earth a blissful heaven...
- Sarastro: [singing] The memory still daunts me, Forever it haunts me, Her vain protestation, Her sad lamentation, I heard her crying in the distance...
- Första damen: [singing] My Prince, accept this gift from me, A present from Her Majesty, A magic flute she now has sent you, For your protection on this venture
- Första damen, Andra damen, Tredje damen: Just play, and you may take for granted, Your listeners will be enchanted, The sad will feel the joy of life, The bachelor will seek a wife
- Första damen, Andra damen, Tredje damen, Tamino, Papageno: Such a magic flute is, A treasure of tremendous worth, For by its sound, man is inspired, To live in peace with all the earth
- Pamina: [singing] I confess, I disobeyed, Escaped, because I was afraid, The blame, though, should not rest with me, The wicked Moor sought to abuse me...
- Pamina: Mother, have you come to take me home? What is it? Why are you looking at me like that? It makes me frightened, Mother.
- Nattens Drottning: [singing] Revenge and hate are raging in my bosom...
- Sarastro: [singing] Yes, you deserve a just reward, For this good man I will allow
- Monostatos: Accept my gratitude, o Lord
- Sarastro: Forty lashes now
- Monostatos: Oh no, Oh no, Oh no, Oh no, Oh no
- Sarastro: Spare me your thanks, 'tis but my task
- Tamino, Papageno, Första damen, Andra damen, Tredje damen: [singing] The strong are different from the weak, In that they think before they speak...
- Monostatos: [singing] Everywhere in sweet seclusion, Lovers cuddle, bill, and coo, I alone must face exclusion, For my skin's a darkish hue, For my skin's a darkish hue. Must I be forever burning, And be scoffed at for my lust? And be scoffed at for my lust? Women spurn my ardent yearning, It arouses but disgust, It arouses but disgust, It arouses but disgust. Oh, to have this maiden love me, Though of course she is taboo, Gentle moon up there above me, She is white and fair like you, She is white and fair like you. Though she finds me reprehensible, I shall own her here tonight, I shall own her here tonight. Should you think it too offensive, Gentle moon, put out your light, Gentle moon, put out your light, Gentle moon, put out your light.
- Sarastro: [singing] The radiant sun overpowers the night, And darkness surrenders to wisdom and light...
- Första gossen, Andra gossen, Tredje gossen: [singing] Soon golden rays in sweet profusion, Will drive away the night, Disperse the clouds of dark delusion, Let wisdom shine its light, Oh, blissful peace, have pity on us, Desecend and shine your light upon us, This heavenly affinity, Does grant to man divinity. Yes, grant to man divinity...
- Papageno: [singing] My little bells, ring sweetly for me, And call my darling girl to me, Tinkle bells, and jingle, Bring my little dove, Tinkle bells, and jingle, Bring my only love...
- Papageno: [singing] Her kiss would prevent me from thinking, Of trifles like eating and drinking, Oh, love is a marvelous thing, A beggar may feel like a king, Why bother with eating and drinking, Oh, love is a marvelous thing...
- Pamina: [singing] Let me your guardian be, My love is leading me, Our path with roses love adorns, There must be roses with the thorns, Now take your magic flute and play...
