SCENA ULTIMA
I suddetti, Antonio, Basilio, servitori con fiaccole accese; poi Susanna, Marcellina, Cherubino, Barbarina; indi la Contessa
IL CONTE
arresta Figaro
Gente, gente, all'armi, all'armi!
FIGARO
Il padrone!
IL CONTE
Gente, gente, aiuto, aiuto!
FIGARO
Son perduto!
BASILIO ed ANTONIO
Cosa avvenne?
IL CONTE
Il scellerato
m'ha tradito, m'ha infamato
e con chi state a veder!
BASILIO ed ANTONIO
Son stordito, son sbalordito,
non mi par che ciò sia ver!
FIGARO
Son storditi, son sbalorditi,
oh che scena, che piacer!
IL CONTE
tira pel braccio Cherubino, dopo Barbarina, Marcellina e Susanna
Invan resistete,
uscite, madama,
il premio or avrete
di vostra onestà!
Il paggio!
ANTONIO
Mia figlia!
FIGARO
Mia madre!
BASILIO, ANTONIO e FIGARO
Madama!
IL CONTE
Scoperta è la trama,
la perfida è qua.
SUSANNA
s'inginocchia ai piedi del Conte
Perdono! Perdono!
IL CONTE
No, no, non sperarlo.
FIGARO
s'inginocchia
Perdono! Perdono!
IL CONTE
No, no, non vo' darlo!.
BARTOLO, CHERUBINO, MARCELLINA, BASILIO, ANTONIO, SUSANNA e FIGARO
s'inginocchiano
Perdono! Perdono!
IL CONTE
No, no, no!
LA CONTESSA
esce dall'altra nicchia e vuole inginocchiarsi, il Conte nol permette
Almeno io per loro
perdono otterrò.
BASILIO, IL CONTE e ANTONIO
(Oh cielo, che veggio!
Deliro! Vaneggio!
Che creder non so?)
IL CONTE
Contessa, perdono!
LA CONTESSA
Più docile io sono,
e dico di sì.
TUTTI
Ah, tutti contenti
saremo così.
Questo giorno di tormenti,
di capricci, e di follia,
in contenti e in allegria
solo amor può terminar.
Sposi, amici, al ballo, al gioco,
alle mine date foco!
Ed al suon di lieta marcia
corriam tutti a festeggiar!
SCENE ELEVEN
COUNT
Ho there! Bring your swords!
He stops Figaro.
FIGARO
The master! I'm lost!
Susanna goes into the recess; Figaro feigns extreme fright.
COUNT
Ho there, I say! Help!
Enter Antonio, Basilio and the servants with lit torches.
BASILIO and ANTONIO
What's amiss?
COUNT
The scoundrel:
He's betrayed me, he has shamed me,
And with whom, you shall see.
BASILIO and ANTONIO
aside
I'm astounded, I'm bewildered,
I can't believe it's true.
FIGARO
aside
They're astounded, they're bewildered.
What a scene! oh what joy!
COUNT
In vain you resist:
Come forth, my lady,
And receive the reward
Or your virtue.
The Count pulls out by the arm Cherubino, who attempts to resist and is only half seen; then follow Barbarina, Marcellina, and Susanna, who, dressed in the Countess's clothes and holding a handkerchief to her face, kneels at the Count's feet.
COUNT
The page!
ANTONIO
My daughter!
FIGARO
My mother!
BASILIO and ANTONIO
My lady!
COUNT
The plot is discovered,
The traitress is here.
All kneel one after the other
SUSANNA
Forgive me, forgive me.
COUNT
No, no, do not hope for it.
FIGARO
Forgive me, forgive me.
COUNT
No, no I will not.
ALL
Forgive us, forgive us.
COUNT
No, no, no, no, no.
The Countess emerges from the other recess and tries to kneel, but the Count prevents her.
COUNTESS
At least let me plead
Forgiveness for them.
BASILIO and ANTONIO
Oh heavens! What do I see?
A delusion, a vision,
That I can't believe.
COUNT
My Countess, forgive me.
COUNTESS
I am kinder:
I will say "Yes."
ALL
Then let us all
Be happy.
This day of torment,
Of caprices and folly,
Love can end
Only in contentment and joy.
Lovers and friends, let's round things off
In dancing and pleasure,
And to the sound of a gay march
Let's hasten to the revelry.
