Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:

NORMA
Vanne, e li cela entrambi.
Oltre l'usato
Io tremo d'abbracciarli.

CLOTILDE
E qual ti turba strano timor,
Che i figli tuoi rigetti?

NORMA
Non so. Diversi affetti
Strazian quest'alma.
Amo in un punto ed odio i figli miei!
Soffro in vederli,
E soffro s'io non li veggo.
Non provato mai
Sento un diletto
Ed un dolore insieme d'esser lor madre.

CLOTILDE
E madre sei?

NORMA
Nol fossi!

CLOTILDE
Qual rio contrasto!

NORMA
Immaginar non puossi, o mia Clotilde!
Richiamato al Tebro è Pollione.

CLOTILDE
E teco ei parte?

NORMA
Ei tace il suo pensiero.
Oh! S'ei fuggir tentasse,
E qui lasciarmi?
Se obbliar potesse
Questi suoi figli?

CLOTILDE
E il credi tu?

NORMA
Non l'oso.
È troppo tormentoso,
Troppo orrendo è un tal dubbio.
Alcun s'avanza. Va. Li cela.

Clotilde parte coi fanciulli. Norma li abbraccia.

English Libretto or Translation:

NORMA
Go, now ? hide them both. I tremble
Tonight to embrace them.

CLOTILDE
What strange fear
Troubles you, that you send your children away?

NORMA
I do not know. Many passions
Torture my soul. I love and yet I hate
My children! I suffer when I see them,
I suffer when I do not,
I feel pain
Together with joy, as never before,
In being their mother.

CLOTILDE
Are you their mother?

NORMA
If only I were not!

CLOTILDE
What an evil strife!

NORMA
Which no one can imagine.
O Clotilde! Pollione has been
Recalled to Rome.

CLOTILDE
Are you leaving with him?

NORMA
He keeps
His thoughts a secret. Oh, if he tried to flee –
Leaving me here? If only I could forget
These sons of his!

CLOTILDE
Do you think he will?

NORMA
I dare not.
It is too much ?
Such a doubt is too horrible. Someone is coming.
Go ? hide them now!
