Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:
MANONrinvenendo poco a poco, mentre Des Grieux la solleva da terra
Sei tu che piangi?
Sei tu che implori? …
tuoi singulti ascolto
e mi bagnano il volto
le tue lagrime ardenti …
Ah! sei tu, sei tu che piangi e implori?
Amor, aita! aita!
DES GRIEUX
O amore! O Manon!
Ah! Manon! amor mio!
O mia Manon!
MANON
La sete mi divora …
amore, aita, aita!
DES GRIEUX
Tutto il mio sangue
per la tua vita!
Si guarda intorno smarrito, poi corre verso il fondo scrutando l'orizzonte lontano. Poi ritorna, disperato, verso Manon.
È nulla! nulla!
Arida landa … non un filo d'acqua …
O immoto cielo! O Dio,
a cui fanciullo anch'io
levai la mia preghiera,
un soccorso, un soccorso!
MANON
Sì … un soccorso! Tu puoi
salvarmi! … Senti,
qui poserò!
E tu scruta il mister dell'orizzonte,
e cerca, cerca monte o casolar;
Oltre ti spingi e con lieta favella
lieta novella poi vieni a recar!
English Libretto or Translation:
MANONgradually recovering, while Des Grieux lifts it off the ground
Are you crying?
Are you imploring? ...
your singults listening
and they bathe my face
your burning tears ...
Ah! are you, are you crying and begging?
Amor, aita! aita!
DES GRIEUX
O love! O Manon!
Ah! Manon! my love!
Or my Manon!
MANON
The thirst devours me ...
love, aita, aita!
DES GRIEUX
All my blood
for your life!
He looks around lost, then runs to the bottom, peering at the distant horizon. Then he returns desperately to Manon.
It is nothing! nothing!
Arida landa ... not a trickle of water ...
O immoto sky! Hate,
to whom I too am a child
I raised my prayer,
a rescue, a rescue!
MANON
Yes ... a rescue! You can
save me! ... Look,
here I will lay down!
And you look at the mister of the horizon,
and search, search for mount or casolar;
Beyond you push yourself and with good willow
glad tidings then come to bear!
