Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:
BERTA
Che vecchio sospettoso!
Vada pure
e ci stia finché crepa …
Sempre gridi e tumulti in questa casa;
si litiga, si piange, si minaccia …
Non v'è un'ora di pace
con questo vecchio avaro, brontolone!
Oh, che casa! Oh, che casa in confusione!
BERTA
Il vecchiotto cerca moglie,
vuol marito la ragazza;
questo freme, quella è pazza.
Tutti e due son da legar.
Ma che cosa è questo amore
che fa tutti delirar?
Egli è un male universale,
una smania, un pizzicore …
un solletico, un tormento …
Poverina, anch'io lo sento,
né so come finirà.
Oh! vecchiaia maledetta! …
Son da tutti disprezzata …
E vecchietta disperata.
mi convien così crepar.
English Libretto or Translation:
BERTA
What a suspicious old man!
Begone and don't come back alive!
Always shouting and clamour in this house...
Arguing...weeping...threatening...
There is not an hour's peace
with this stingy, grumbling old man.
Oh, what a house of confusion!
BERTA
The old man seeks a wife,
and the maiden wants a husband,
the one is frenzied, the other crazy,
both of them need restraining.
What on earth is all this love
which makes everyone go mad?
It is a universal evil,
it is a mania and an itch,
a thing which tickles and torments you.
Unhappy me, I also feel it
and do not know how to escape.
Oh, accursed old maid!
By all I am despised,
an old maid without a hope,
I shall die in desperation.
(Berta goes out.)
