Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:
N. 2 - TerzettoDON ALFONSO
scherzando
E' la fede delle femmine
Come l'araba fenice:
Che vi sia, ciascun lo dice;
Dove sia, nessun lo sa.
FERRANDO
con fuoco
La fenice è Dorabella!
GUGLIELMO
La fenice è Fiordiligi!
DON ALFONSO
Non è questa, non è quella:
Non fu mai, non vi sarà.
E' la fede delle femmine
Come l'araba fenice:
Che vi sia, ciascun lo dice;
Dove sia, nessun lo sa.
English Libretto or Translation:
No. 2 - TrioDON ALFONSO
Woman's constancy
Is like the Arabian Phoenix;
Everyone swears it exists,
But no one knows where.
FERRANDO
The phoenix is my Dorabella.
GUGLIELMO
The phoenix is my Fiordiligi.
DON ALFONSO
It's neither one nor the other.
It never existed, and never will.
