Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:
ADALGISASola, furtiva, al tempio
Io l'aspettai sovente,
Ed ogni dì più fervida
Crebbe la fiamma ardente.
NORMA
(Io stessa arsì così.)
ADALGISA
Vieni, ei dicea, concedi
Ch'io mi ti prostri ai piedi.
NORMA
(Oh, rimembranza!)
ADALGISA
Lascia che l'aura io spiri
NORMA
(Io fui così sedotta!)
ADALGISA
Dei dolci tuoi sospiri,
Del tuo bel crin le anella
Dammi, dammi poter baciar.
NORMA
(Oh, cari accenti!
Così li profferia,
Così trovava del mio cor la via!)
ADALGISA
Dolci qual arpa armonica
M'eran le sue parole,
Negli occhi suoi sorridere
Vedea più bello un sole.
NORMA
(L'incanto suo fu il mio!)
ADALGISA
Io fui perduta e il sono!
NORMA
Ah! Tergi il pianto!
ADALGISA
D'uopo ho del tuo perdono!
NORMA
Avrò pietade!
ADALGISA
Deh! Tu mi reggi e guida!
NORMA
Ah! Tergi il pianto!
ADALGISA
Me rassicura, o sgrida,
Salvami da me stessa,
Salvami, salvami dal mio cor!
NORMA
Ah! Tergi il pianto!
Te non lega eterno nodo,
Eterno nodo all'ara.
ADALGISA
Ah! Ripeti, o ciel,
Ripeti si lusinghieri accenti!
English Libretto or Translation:
ADALGISASecretly, alone at the temple
I often waited for him.
Every day the fire of love
Burned with a greater flame.
NORMA
(I too
Felt that: her enchantment is like mine.)
ADALGISA
"Come," he would say, "let me
Throw myself at your feet.
Let me breathe the breath
Of your sweet sighs,
Give me the curls
Of your hair to kiss."
NORMA
(Oh dear words!
So my lover spoke to me -
Opening the way to my heart.)
ADALGISA
His words were sweet to me
As the music of a harp;
In his eyes I thought to find
A new, a lovelier sun.
NORMA
(Her enchantment is like mine).
ADALGISA
I was lost, I still am lost.
NORMA
Ah, do not weep.
ADALGISA
I need your forgiveness.
NORMA
I shall have pity.
ADALGISA
Ah, you are my staff, my guide.
NORMA
Ah, do not weep.
ADALGISA
Comfort me or reproach me,
Save me from myself,
Save me from my own heart.
NORMA
Ah ' do not weep: you are not yet bound
To the altar by an eternal knot.
ADALGISA
Repeat, oh heaven, repeat
The joyous words:
