Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:

Geronte si presenta improvviso alla porta del fondo e si arresta stupito.

MANON
con un grido, alzandosi di scatto
Ah!

GERONTE
ironico
Affé, madamigella,
or comprendo il perché di nostr'attesa!
Giungo a mal punto.
Errore involontario!
Chi non erra quaggiù'?!
a Des Grieux
Anche voi, credo, ad esempio,
obliaste d'essere in casa mia.

DES GRIEUX
Signore!

MANON
Taci!

GERONTE
Gratitudine, sia
oggi il tuo dì di festa!
a Manon
Donde vi trassi,
le prove che v'ho date
d'un vero amore, come rammentate!

MANON
Guarda capricciosamente Geronte, poi va al tavolo e vi prende un piccolo specchio.
Amore? Amore?
Mio buon signore,
mettendo in faccia a Geronte lo specchio
ecco! ... Guardatevi! …
Se errai, leale
ditelo! E poi
guardate noi!

GERONTE
offeso
lo son leale, mia bella donnina.
Conosco il mio dovere …
deggio partir di qui!
ironico
O gentil cavaliere,
leziosamente
o vaga signorina,
minacciando
arrivederci ... e presto!

Esce.

MANON
Ah! ah! … Liberi!
Liberi come l'aria!
Che gioia, cavaliere,
amor mio bello!

DES GRIEUX
Senti,
di qui partiamo: un solo
istante, questo tetto
del vecchio maledetto
non t'abbia più!

MANON
Peccato!
Tutti questi splendori!
Tutti questi tesori!
Ahimè! … Dobbiam partir!

English Libretto or Translation:

Geronte suddenly appears at the back door and stops in amazement.

MANON
with a cry, jumping up
Ah!

GERONTE
ironic
Affé, madamigella,
or I understand why our wait!
I arrive at a bad point.
Unintentional mistake!
Who is not wrong here?
in Des Grieux
You too, I believe, for example,
obliaste to be in my house.

DES GRIEUX
Lord!

MANON
Shut up!

GERONTE
Gratitude, both
today your party day!
in Manon
Whence you drew
the evidence I have given you
of true love, as you remember!

MANON
He looks capriciously at Geronte, then goes to the table and takes a small mirror.
Love? Love?
My good sir,
putting the mirror in front of Geronte
here! ... Look at you! ...
If you are, loyal
tell! And then
look at us!

GERONTE
offended
I'm loyal, my beautiful little woman.
I know my duty ...
I'll leave here!
ironic
O gentle knight,
affectation
or vague miss,
threatening
goodbye ... and soon!

Goes out.

MANON
Ah! ah! ... Free!
Free like the air!
What a joy, knight,
my beautiful love!

DES GRIEUX
Listen,
from here we start: only one
instant, this roof
of the old accursed
do not worry about it anymore!

MANON
Sin!
All these splendors!
All these treasures!
Alas! ... We must leave!
