I had to upload this whole part because it's entirely amazing. One of my favorite love duets, in this moment the couple discover they are twins, kids of Wotan (Wälse, like they call him). So, they are the Wälsungs. In spite of their kinship, they fall in a intense and moving love. Siegmund takes the sword that was fixed in the ash tree in Sieglinde's house: the one his father promised him when he found himself in need. He names the sword Nothung.
Lyrically, this part is extremely beautiful too.
