Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:
N. 1 - TerzettoFERRANDO
La mia Dorabella
Capace non è:
Fedel quanto bella
Il cielo la fé.
GUGLIELMO
La mia Fiordiligi
Tradirmi non sa:
Uguale in lei credo
Costanza e beltà.
DON ALFONSO
Ho i crini già grigi,
Ex cathedra parlo;
Ma tali litigi
Finiscano qua.
FERRANDO e GUGLIELMO
No, detto ci avete
Che infide esser ponno;
Provar ce'l dovete,
Se avete onestà.
DON ALFONSO
Tai prove lasciamo...
FERRANDO e GUGLIELMO
No, no, le vogliamo:
O, fuori la spada,
Rompiam l'amistà.
Metton mano alla spada
FERRANDO e GUGLIELMO
fra sé
Sul vivo mi tocca
chi lascia di bocca
sortire un accento
che torto le fa.
DON ALFONSO
fra sé
O pazzo desire!
Cercar di scoprire
Quel mal che, trovato,
Meschini ci fa.
English Libretto or Translation:
No. 1 - TrioFERRANDO
My Dorabella couldn't
Do such a thing:
Heaven made her
As faithful as she's fair.
GUGLIELMO
My Fiordiligi simply
Couldn't betray me:
I believe her constancy
Equals her beauty.
DON ALFONSO
My hair is already grey,
I speak with authority;
But let's have done
With argument.
FERRANDO AND GUGLIELMO
No, you've told us
They could be faithless;
If you're honest
You will prove it.
DON ALFONSO
Let's not trouble with proof.
FERRANDO AND GUGLIELMO
setting their bands to their swords
No, no, we demand it:
Or out with your sword
And we'll break up this friendship,
DON ALFONSO
O what folly
To try to discover
The wrong which will make us wretched
When we've found it!
FERRANDO AND GUGLIELMO
He strikes at my honour
Who allows his lips
To utter a word
Which does her wrong.
