you warn him that death is at hand, (#126
a:)
then perhaps he’ll be willing to give up his toy. – (#48
)
I’ll wake him up myself (:#126
a)
.

 

(He takes up a position on the knoll in front of the cave and calls into it.)

 

Wanderer: (#126
a)
Fafner! Fafner! wake up, you dragon!

 

Alberich: (with intense astonishment, aside: #48
frag >>:)
What’s the madman doing? Will he really not begrudge it me (:#48
frag)
? (…)

 

Fafner’s voice: (#126
frag inverted)
Who’s that who disturbs my sleep? (…)

 

Wanderer: Someone has come to tell you of danger [“Noth”]: he’ll reward you for it with your life if, in return, you repay that life with the treasure that you’re guarding.

 

(He inclines his ear towards the cave to listen. #126

Fafner’s voice: (#126

What does he want (:#126

Alberich: (joining the wanderer and calling into the cave) Wake up, Fafner! Wake up, you dragon! (#103
?:)
A doughty hero is drawing near who means to assail you, invulnerable beast (“ … dich heil’gen will er besteh’n.”) (:#103
?) (#126
)

 

Fafner’s voice: (#126

Wanderer: Bold is the youngster’s strength (#57

and keen-cutting is his sword (:#57
; :#58
b vari?)
.

 

Alberich: (#17
:)
The golden band alone he covets (:#17
)
: give me the ring as reward and I’ll change the course of the conflict; you’ll keep the hoard for yourself and live a long life of peace!
