MALATESTA
Bella siccome un angelo
in terra pellegrino,
fresca siccome il giglio
che s'apre sul mattino,
occhio che parla e ride,
sguardo che i cor conquide,
chioma che vince l'ebano,
sorriso incantator.
DON PASQUALE
Sposa simile! Oh, giubilo!
Non cape in petto il cor.
MALATESTA
Alma innocente, ingenua,
che sè medesma ignora;
modestia impareggiabile,
bontà che v'innamora.
Ai miseri pietosa,
gentil, dolce, amorosa,
il cel l'ha fatta nascere
per far beato un cor.
DON PASQUALE
Oh giubilo! Famiglia?
MALATESTA
Agiata, onesta.
DON PASQUALE
Il nome?
MALATESTA
Malatesta.
DON PASQUALE
Sarà vostra parente?
MALATESTA
Beautiful as an angel
in pilgrim land,
fresh as the lily
that opens in the morning,
eye that speaks and laughs,
look that the cores conquer,
crown that wins the ebony,
smile incantator.
DON PASQUALE
Similar bride! Oh, rejoicing!
Do not head in the chest.
MALATESTA
Alma innocent, naive,
that he himself ignores;
unparalleled modesty,
goodness that falls in love with you.
To the pitiful pitiful,
gentle, sweet, loving,
the cel gave birth to it
to make a heart happy.
DON PASQUALE
Oh jubilation! Family?
MALATESTA
Agiata, honest.
DON PASQUALE
The name?
MALATESTA
Malatesta.
DON PASQUALE
Will you be your relative?
