Vedro mentr'io sospiro

Translation: (Recitative)You have won the decision? What the devil! Are they trying to fool me? Hypocrites! I'll cure them! I'll see that both the traitors are punished. I'll base my verdict on my pleasure alone. If he succeeded in paying Marcellina! How can he? He has no money! Besides, Antonio won't permit his beloved niece Susanna to marry such a nobody as Figaro. I will flatter the ego of that conceited drunkard. It will further my purpose. It can't go better! (Aria) Shall I look on desiring and see my servant happy? Shall I see him acquiring favors for which I yearn? Shall I, in helpless fashion, allow a hateful marriage, while I restrain a passion which she does not return? Shall I look on desiring and see my servant happy? Shall I see him acquiring the prize for which I yearn? Shall I not lift a finger to conquer her affection, look on without objection, aloof and unconcerned? Ah, no! I won't! Ah, no! I won't! Ah, no, I will not give you so great a satisfaction; you shall not dare to spite me, oppose me and torment me; you'll have no chance to laugh at me, to laugh at me, while I am cast aside. Only the thought of vengeance offers me consolation; triumphant vindication shall satisfy my pride, my deeply wounded pride. Ah, I will never give you so great a satisfaction; you shall not dare to spite me, oppose me and torment me, you'll have no chance to laugh at me, to laugh at me, while I am cast aside. Only the thought of vengeance offers me consolation; triumphant vindication shall satisfy my pride, my wounded pride, and fill my heart with joy, my heart with joy, and fill my heart with joy, and fill my heart with joy."
