SCENA QUINDICESIMA
Sala ricchissima illuminata. Orchestra in fondo. Tavola per quattro persone con doppieri d'argento ecc.
Despina, servitori, servette e suonatori; poi Don Alfonso.
N. 31 - Finale
DESPINA
Fate presto, o cari amici,
Alle faci il fuoco date
E la mensa preparate
Con ricchezza e nobiltà.
Delle nostre padroncine
Gli imenei son già disposti.
ai suonatori
E voi gite ai vostri posti,
Finché i sposi vengon qua.
CORO DI SERVI E SUONATORI
Facciam presto, o cari amici,
Alle faci il fuoco diamo
E la mensa prepariamo
Con ricchezza e nobiltà.
DON ALFONSO
entrando
Bravi, bravi! Ottimamente!
Che abbondanza! che eleganza!
Una mancia conveniente
L'un e l'altro a voi darà.
mentre Don Alfonso canta, i suonatori accordano
Le due coppie omai si avanzano,
Fate plauso al loro arrivo,
Lieto canto e suon giulivo
Empia il ciel d'ilarità.
DESPINA E DON ALFONSO
sottovoce, partendo per diverse porte
No, più bella commediola
Non s'è vista, o si vedrà!
English Libretto or Translation:
FIFTEENTH SCENE
A salon brilliantly lit. An orchestra in the background: a table laid for four persons, with silver candlesticks. Four richly clad servants.
Despina, servants and musicians; then Don Alfonso
No. 31 - Finale
DESPINA
Be quick about it, friends,
Light the torches
And prepare the table
In style for the nobility.
The marriage of our mistresses
Is already arranged,
And you must take your places
As soon as the bridegrooms appear.
CHORUS OF SERVANTS AND MUSICIANS
Let's be quick about it, friends,
Light the torches
And prepare the table
In style for the nobility.
DON ALFONSO
Well done! Splendid!
What abundance!
What elegance!
You'll all be given
A suitable reward.
Now the two couples are arriving;
Applaud them as they enter:
Let cheerful song and merry music
Fill the air with gaiety.
DESPINA AND DON ALFONSO
soflly, leaving by different doors
A prettier piece of comedy
There never was, nor ever will be!
