Puccini - Manon Lescaut - Sola, perduta, abbandonata - Renata Scotto
Singer: Renata ScottoManon Lescaut is an opera in four acts by Giacomo Puccini. The story is based on the 1731 novel L'histoire du chevalier des Grieux et de Manon Lescaut by the Abbé Prévost.
A vast plain near the outskirts of the New Orleans territory
The act begins with the lovers are making their way across the desert hoping to find protection in a British settlement. Wandering in the desert without any water, the ailing Manon is exhausted. She falls and can't go any further (Des Grieux, Manon: Tutta su me ti posa) ; (Des Grieux: Vedi, son io che piango) ; (Manon, Des Grieux: Sei tu che piangi).
Des Grieux is alarmed by Manon's appearance and goes to look for water. While he is gone, Manon recalls her past, muses about her fatal beauty and her fate (Manon: Sola, perduta, abbandonata).
Des Grieux returns, having been unable to find water. Manon bids him a heart-rending farewell and dies in his arms. Overcome by grief, Des Grieux falls unconscious across her body (Manon, Des Grieux: Fra le tue braccia, amore).

Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:
MANONEntra Des Grieux precipitosamente; Manon gli cade fra le braccia.
Fra le tue braccia amore,
l'ultima volta!
sforzandosi a sorridere e simulando speranza
Apporti
tu la novella lieta?
DES GRIEUX
con immensa tristezza e sconforto
Nulla rinvenni … l'orizzonte nulla
mi rivelò ... lontano
spinsi lo sguardo invano!
MANON
Muoio … scendon le tenebre …
su me la notte scende!
DES GRIEUX
Un funesto delirio
ti percuote, t'offende.
Posa qui dove palpito,
in te ritorna ancor!
MANON
Io t'amo tanto e muoio …
Già la parola manca
al mio voler, ma posso
dirti che t'amo tanto!
O amore! ultimo incanto,
ineffabile ebbrezza!
O mio estremo desir!
Io t'amo, t'amo tanto!
DES GRIEUX
Le tocca il volto, poi fra sé attento:
(Gelo di morte! Dio,
l'ultima speme infrangi!)
MANON
Mio dolce amor, tu piangi …
Non è di lagrime,
ora di baci è questa;
Il tempo vola … baciami!
DES GRIEUX
O immensa
delizia mia ... tu fiamma
d'amore eterna …
MANON
La fiamma si spegne …
Parla, deh! parla … ahimè!
DES GRIEUX
Manon!
MANON
… più non t'ascolto …
ahimè!
affannosamente ed appassionatissimo
Qui, qui, vicino a me,
voglio il tuo volto …
Così ... così ... mi baci ...
vicino a me. Ancor ti sento! ahimè!
DES GRIEUX
Senza di te …perduto,
ti seguirò!
MANON
con ultimo sforzo, imperiosa
Non voglio!
Addio ... cupa è la notte ... ho freddo …
era amorosa
la tua Manon? Rammenti?
affannando
… dimmi … la luminosa
mia giovinezza?
Il sol … più non … vedrò!
DES GRIEUX
Mio Dio!
MANON
Le mie colpe travolgerà l'oblio,
ma l'amor mio ... non muor …
Muore.
Des Grieux, pazzo di dolore, cade svenuto sul corpo di Manon.
English Libretto or Translation:
MANONEnter Des Grieux precipitously; Manon falls into his arms.
In your arms, love,
the last time!
trying to smile and simulating hope
Solders
you the happy news?
DES GRIEUX
with immense sadness and despair
Nothing revived ... nothing horizon
he revealed me ... far away
I looked in vain!
MANON
I die ... darkness falls ...
night falls on me!
DES GRIEUX
A fatal delirium
it strikes you, it offends you.
Lay here where you palpitate,
in you, come back again!
MANON
I love you so much and I die ...
Already the word lacks
my will, but I can
tell you that I love you so much!
O love! last enchantment,
ineffable intoxication!
Or my extreme desir!
I love you, I love you so much!
DES GRIEUX
touches her face, then to herself attentive:
(Frost of death! God,
the last one is afraid!)
MANON
My sweet love, you cry ...
It is not of tears,
now of kisses it is this;
Time flies ... kiss me!
DES GRIEUX
O immense
delight of mine ... you flame
of eternal love ...
MANON
The flame goes out ...
Speak, deh! speak ... alas!
DES GRIEUX
Manon!
MANON
... I do not listen to you anymore ...
Alas!
eagerly and very passionately
Here, here, near me,
I want your face ...
So ... so ... you kiss me ...
close to me. I still feel you! Alas!
DES GRIEUX
Without you ... lost,
I will follow you!
MANON
with last effort, imperious
I do not want to!
Goodbye ... dark is the night ... I'm cold ...
was
your Manon loving ? Do you remember?
gasping
... tell me ...
my bright youth?
The sol ... no more ... I'll see!
DES GRIEUX
My God!
MANON
My faults will overwhelm oblivion,
but my love ... does not die ...
He dies.
Des Grieux, mad with grief, falls unconscious on Manon's body.
