Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:

NORMA
Adalgisa!

ADALGISA
da lontano
(Alma, costanza!)

NORMA
T'inoltra, o giovinetta, t'inoltra.
E perchè tremi?
Udii che grave a me segreto
Palesar tu voglia.

ADALGISA
È ver.
Ma, deh, ti spoglia
Della celeste austerità
Che splende negli occhi tuoi!
Dammi coraggio,
Ond'io senza alcun velo
Ti palesi il core!

Si prostra.

NORMA
la solleva
M'abbraccia, e parla.
Che t'afflige?

ADALGISA
dopo un momento di estazione
Amore. Non t'irritar!
Lunga stagion pugnai per soffocarlo.
Ogni mia forza ei vinse,
Ogni rimorso.
Ah! Tu non sai, pur dianzi
Qual giuramento io fea!
Fuggir dal tempio,
Tradir l'altare a cui son io legata,
Abbandonar la patria …

NORMA
Ahi! Sventurata!
Del tuo primier mattino
Già turbato è il sereno?
E come, e quando
Nacque tal fiamma in te?

ADALGISA
Da un solo sguardo, da un sol sospiro,
Nella sacra selva,
A piè dell'ara ov'io pregava il Dio.
Tremai … Sul labbro mio
Si arrestò la preghiera.
E, tutta assorta
In quel leggiadro aspetto,
Un altro cielo mirar credetti,
Un altro cielo in lui.

English Libretto or Translation:

NORMA
Adalgisa!

ADALGISA
(Glorious faith!)

NORMA
Come here, my child,
Come. Why are you trembling? They told me
You had a secret to tell me.

ADALGISA
Yes ? but oh, look upon me
Without this priestly austerity which shines
In your eyes. Give me courage, that I
May reveal my heart wholly to you.

NORMA
Come, embrace me
And speak. What is it?

ADALGISA
Love ?
Do not be angry - I fought long
To stifle it. It conquered all my strength,
All remorse. Ah! You do not know the oath
I swore just now! To flee from the temple,
To betray the altar to which I am sworn,
To leave my fatherland.

NORMA
Ah, unhappy girl!
The morning of your life
Is already clouded! How and when
Did this love come to you?

ADALGISA
At the first glance,
At the first sigh, in the sacred wood,
Before the altar, as I was praying.
I trembled ? my prayers fell mute
On my lips. Lost in beholding
His beauty, I seemed to find
A new heaven in his face.
