Fourteenth Scene: Monostatos and his slaves enter suddenly, but as Monostatos is about to seize the pair, Papageno plays upon his magic bells. The slaves fall under the music’s spell and dance away, allowing Papageno and Pamina to escape again.

Monostatos
Bring the chains to bind them with!
(Slaves come with rope and chain.)
Ghe, ihr Sklaven, kommt herbei!
(Sklaven kommen mit Fesseln.)

Papageno
He who dares has all to win!
Come, my chimes, let bells begin!
Let the precious silver ring!
Let the bells sound out and sing!

(He plays on the bells. At once Monostatos and his slaves begin to dance and sing.)
Wer viel wagt, gewinnt oft viel!
Komm, du schönes Glockenspiel,
Laß die Glöckchen klingen, klingen,
Daß die Ohren ihnen singen.

(Papageno spielt auf seinem Glockenspiel.
Sogleich tanzen und singen
Monostatos und die Sklaven.)


Monostatos
It sounds so happy,
Sounds so gay!
Larala la la larala!
Let’s sing and dance our time away!
Larala la la larala!

(They dance out.)
Das klinget so herrlich,
Das klinget so schön!
Larala la la larala!
Nie hab’ ich so etwas gehört und gesehn!
Larala la la larala!

(Sklaven kommen mit Fesseln.)
