SCENA OTTAVA
NEMORINO
solo
Una furtiva lacrima
Negli occhi suoi spuntò ...
Quelle festose giovani
Invidïar sembrò ...
Che più cercando io vo?
M'ama, lo vedo.
Un solo istante i palpiti
Del suo bel cor sentir ...
I miei sospir confondere
Per poco a' suoi sospir! ...
Cielo, si può morir;
Di più non chiedo.
Eccola ... Oh! qual le accresce
Beltà l'amor nascente!
A far l'indifferente
Si seguiti così finché non viene
Ella a spiegarsi.
SCENE EIGHT
Nemorino
only
A stealthy tear
In his eyes it appeared ...
Those festive young people
Invidïar seemed ...
What more could I want?
He loves me, I see him.
One moment the beats
Of his beautiful heart he will hear ...
My sighs confuse
For a little while at his sigh! ...
Heaven, we can die;
I do not ask for more.
Here it is ... Oh! what increases it
Beauty, the nascent love!
To be indifferent
Follow this way until it comes
She explained herself.
