Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:
IL CONTE
Basilio, in traccia tosto
di Figaro volate:
addita Cherubino che non si muove di loco
io vo' ch'ei veda ...
SUSANNA
Ed io che senta; andate!
IL CONTE
Restate: che baldanza! E quale scusa
se la colpa è evidente?
SUSANNA
Non ha d'uopo di scusa un'innocente.
IL CONTE
Ma costui quando venne?
SUSANNA
Egli era meco
quando voi qui giungeste, e mi chiedea
d'impegnar la padrona
a intercedergli grazia. Il vostro arrivo
in scompiglio lo pose,
ed allor in quel loco si nascose.
IL CONTE
Ma s'io stesso m'assisi
quando in camera entrai!
CHERUBINO
Ed allor di dietro io mi celai.
IL CONTE
E quando io là mi posi?
CHERUBINO
Allor io pian mi volsi, e qui m'ascosi.
IL CONTE
a Susanna
Oh ciel, dunque ha sentito
tutto quello ch'io ti dicea!
CHERUBINO
Feci per non sentir quanto potea.
IL CONTE
Ah perfidia!
BASILIO
Frenatevi: vien gente!
IL CONTE
tira Cherubino giù dalla sedia
E voi restate qui, picciol serpente!
English Libretto or Translation:
COUNT
Basilio, go off
To Figaro at once.
I want him to see...
pointing to Cherubino, who does not move
SUSANNA
And I want him to hear: go on.
COUNT
to Basilio
Wait!
to Susanna
What assurance! What's your excuse
When your guilt is obvious?
SUSANNA
Virtue has no need of excuses.
COUNT
But when did he come in?
SUSANNA
He was with me
When you came in here,
And was asking me to beg my lady
To intercede for him: your arrival
Threw us into confusion,
And so he did himself in there.
COUNT
But I sat down there myself
When I came into the room!
CHERUBINO
Then I hid myself behind it.
COUNT
And when I placed myself there?
CHERUBINO
Then I quietly crept round and hid here.
COUNT
to Susanna
Heavens! Then he heard
All that I was saying to you?
CHERUBINO
I did everything I could not to hear.
COUNT
Deceitful boy!
BASILIO
Restrain yourself: someone's coming.
COUNT
to Cherubino
And you're still there, you little viper!
dragging him out of the chair
