Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:
DES GRIEUXAh! Manco, mi tradisce
il tuo folle pensier:
Sempre la stessa!
Trepida divinamente,
nell'abbandono ardente …
Buona e gentile come la vaghezza
di quella tua carezza:
sempre novella ebbrezza;
indi, d'un tratto, vinta, abbacinata
dai raggi della vita dorata!
Io? Tuo schiavo, e tua vittima
discendo la scala dell'infamia …
Fango nel fango io sono
e turpe eroe da bisca
m'insozzo, mi vendo …
L'onta più vile m'avvicina a te!
Nell'oscuro futuro
dì, che farai di me?
Si siede colla testa fra le mani.
MANON
umilmente
Un'altra volta, un'altra volta ancora,
deh, mi perdona!
Sarò fedele e buona,
lo giuro, lo giuro …
English Libretto or Translation:
DES GRIEUXAh! Manco, he cheats on me
your crazy pensier:
Always the same!
Divinely divine,
in the burning abandonment ...
Good and kind as the vagueness
of that caress of yours:
always new inebriation;
then, suddenly, won, dazzled
from the rays of golden life!
I? Your slave, and your victim
I descend the scale of infamy ...
I'm mud in the mud
and ugly hero from a gambling den
I put myself in front of me, I sell ...
The most vile shame brings me to you!
In the dark future
say, what will you do with me?
He sits with his head in his hands.
MANON
humbly
Another time, again, again
Oh, forgive me!
I will be faithful and good,
I swear, I swear ...
