Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:

CHÉNIER
Allora partirò!
E questo mio destino si chiama amore.
Io non ho amato ancor,
pure sovente nella vita
ho sentita sul mio cammin vicina
la donna che il destin fa mia;
bella, ideale, divina come la poesia;
passar con lei sul mio cammin l'amor!
Sì, più volte ha parlato
la sua voce al mio cuore;
udita io l'ho sovente
con la sua voce ardente
dirmi: Credi all'amor;
Chénier, tu sei amato!
preso sottobraccio Roucher lo allontana dal caffè Hottot
Da tempo mi pervengono strane lettere
or soavi, or gravi, or rampogne or consigli.
Scrive una donna misteriosa ognora.
In quelle sue parole vibra un'anima!
Chi sia, indagato ho in vano.

ROUCHER
Ancor?

CHÉNIER
gli mostra una lettera
Finora! Ma or guarda!

ROUCHER
legge
Qui un ritrovo?

CHÉNIER
Ah, la vedrò!

English Libretto or Translation:

CHÉNIER
Then I will leave!
And this my destiny is called love.
I have not loved yet,
also often in life
I heard on my next walk
the woman whom the destiny makes mine;
beautiful, ideal, divine like poetry;
love with her on my walk!
Yes, he spoke several times
his voice to my heart;
I hear it often
with his burning voice
tell me: Believe in love;
Chénier, you are loved!
He takes Roucher away from the Hottot coffee
Strange letters have come to me for some time
or soavi, or serious, or cramps or advice.
A mysterious woman writes every day.
In those words he vibrates a soul!
Who is, I investigated in vain.

ROUCHER
Even?

CHÉNIER
he shows him a letter
Till now! But now, look!

ROUCHER
law
Here a meeting?

CHÉNIER
Ah, I'll see you!
