Introduction
CHORUS OF EUNUCHI
Serenate the sad eyelash:
You do not complain about the destiny,
Here the females are born
Only to suffer.
ELVIRA
Ah, I understand, unhappy!
That my spouse does not love me anymore.
ZULMA
There is a phlegm: and what he craves
the contradiction is now in vain.
CHOIR
Here the females are born
Only to serve.
HALY
from the inside
The Bey
ZULMA
Deh! Madam ... I adjure you ...
ELVIRA
What do I have to do?
Enter Mustafa.
CHOIR
apart from
(Or for her that hard face
It gives me little hope.)
MUSTAFA
Women's arrogance,
The ability, the insane splendor,
Here you stand in vain,
Mustafa claims it.
ZULMA
Come on, courage, my lady.
HALY
It's a bad quarter of an hour.
ELVIRA
I do not care about myself anymore;
All by now I must try.
CHOIR
(Or for her that hard face
It gives me little hope.)
ZULMA
Come on, courage, my lady.
ELVIRA
Mr., for those feelings
What more to you I do not hide ...
MUSTAFA
Dear, you broke my eardrum:
I speak to you, frank and round.
I no longer grimace:
I do not know what to do with you.
ELVIRA
Oh dear Lord ... ... but ... if ...
HALY, ZULMA, ELVIRA and CHORUS
(Oh what an extravagant head!
Oh! what arrogant surly!)
More volubil than a leaf
His heart is in desire
Of women trampling
The flattery and the beauty.

More volubil than a leaf
Go my heart of desire in desire
Of women trampling

Recitative
MUSTAFA
Retire everyone. Haly, stop you.
Elvira, Zulma and the Eunuchs come out.
SECOND SCENE
Mustapha and Haly
MUSTAFA
You know that I am satisfied with this wife,
That I can not take it anymore. Drive it out ... it's bad,
Keep it ... it's worse. I have therefore established
That you take Lindoro for your husband.
HALY
But how? He is not Turkish.
MUSTAFA
What does it matter to me?
HALY
But of Muhammad
The law does not allow such a mess.
MUSTAFA
Another law I have not, that my whim.
You get my drift?
HALY
Mr. yes ...
MUSTAFA
Hear me again.
To get along well an hour I do not find myself
One of my slaves
May I like it. So many caresses,
So many grimaces are not of my taste.
HALY
And what am I to do?
MUSTAFA
You should
Find an Italian. I have a great desire
To have one of those young ladies,
What a hammer to so many cicisbei.
HALY
I would like to serve you, but my Corsairs ...
The inconstancy of the sea ...
MUSTAFA
If in six days
You do not find it, and you follow the shrewd one,
I make you impaled.
(He retires to his apartment.)
HALY
Not necessary.
Part.
SCENE THIRD
Lindoro alone, then Mustafa.
Cavatina
Lindoro
Languir for a beautiful one
And stay away from that,
It is the most cruel torment,
That proving can be a cor.
Perhaps the time will come;
But I still do not hope so.
Content this alma
In the midst of the pains
Sol finds calm
Thinking about his good,
Which is always constant
You keep in love.
Recitative
Lindoro
Ah, when I can
In Italy, will you come back? He's now three months old,
What in these countries
Already a slave, and from my far ...
MUSTAFA
Listen, Italian, you want to be your wife
Lindoro
To me? ... What do I hear? ... (Oh God!)
But how? ... In this state ...
MUSTAFA
Do not think about it. Come, and you'll see
A beautiful face, a beautiful cor, with all the rest.
Lindoro
(Oh my poor love! What a scam is this!)
Duet
Lindoro
If I inclined to take a wife
We would like many things.
One just a hundred brides
It could / could all combine.
MUSTAFA
Do you want beauty? Do you want wealth?
Thank you? ... love? ... Consoles you:
Find everything in this one.
She is a singular woman.

For example, I would like it

Lindoro
(Everywhere I'm here I start
What do I have to say? What do I have to do?)
MUSTAFA
Dear friend, there is no escape;
If you see it, you have to cascar.
Lindoro
(On all sides I get confused,
What do I have to say? What do I have to do?
Ah, I get lost, I get confused.
What a damn trick:
I feel love, that inside my chest
Hammering my heart.)
MUSTAFA
Soon let's go.
Are you ice? Are you stucco?
Come, come: what's stopping you?
A wife like this,
Believe me, you'll like it.
Come on let's go.
Lindoro
He has begl'occhi ...
MUSTAFA
They are two stars.
Lindoro
Schietta ... and good ...

Raw fate! Amor tyrant!
This is the prize of my fe '?

Who do I hope, O God, advice?
Who will comfort give me?
CHOIR
It's a boccon for Mustapha.
ISABELLA
Here it is easy,
No more smithering, nor fear:
Courage is time now,
Who will you see?
I already know for practice
What is the effect
With a languid look,
Of a sigh ...
I know how to dominate men
How you do it.
Sian sweet or rough,
Sian phlegm or fire
They are all similar
in next to ...
Everyone asks,
All the brahman,
From a vague female
Happiness.

We mean it.
ISABELLA
And I'm proud of it.
HALY
Hurray, friends, cheers.
ISABELLA

Ah! I do not know from pleasure where I am.
Chosen by Mustapha you will be, if I'm not mistaken
The star and the splendor of its menagerie.
Part with some Corsairs.

ISABELLA
Do not you trust me?
TADDEO
You've got me maybe, my soul, taken for one
sucker? Of that your cicisbeo ...
Of that Lindoro ... I never saw him,
But I know everything.
ISABELLA
I loved her before you: no. He has many months
Ch'ei d'Italia left: and now ...
TADDEO
And now the Lady is already here
To look for him in Gallizia ...
ISABELLA
And you...

And now with a second name
Vo in a menagerie ... you think the world
Duet
ISABELLA

All that can happen.

Shrewd woman is a precipice.

Better a Turk than a rascal.

Better the fiasco than the lamp.

I can no longer resist: this Isabella
It's a charm: I can not
More star without her ...
Go ... and lead it.
Listen, Kaimakan, when I sneeze
Get up quickly, and leave me with her.
TADDEO
(Ah! Taddeo de 'Taddei, to qualment ...
At which pace you have arrived! ...)
MUSTAFA
What is this beautiful?
Lindoro
Here it is.
Enter Isabella
Quintet
MUSTAFA
I introduce you to my man
Ser Taddeo Kaimakan.
From this you learn how much esteem
Mustafa is for you.
ISABELLA
Kaimakan? Come with me.
Your face is done in the mail.
Agrade, or my Lord,
This stretch of goodness.
TADDEO
For your merit, nephew,
I have ascended so much honor.
Did you understand? This core
Think now how it is.
Lindoro
to Mustafa on the sidelines
Look at that dress,
He speaks clearly to whom he intends,
To please you now awaits,
And he tells it to those who do not know.
ISABELLA
Ah, my dear.
MUSTAFA
Cough cough ...
ISABELLA and LINDORO
Viva.
TADDEO
(Here we are.)
ISABELLA
Ah! ...
MUSTAFA
Cough cough ...
TADDEO
(Crack, Fo the deaf.)
MUSTAFA
(Damn the fool
It does not mean and still stands here.)
Cough cough ...
TADDEO
(That sneezes as long as it explodes / wants:
I do not move away from here.)
ISABELLA and LINDORO
(One hopes and the other quivers.
Of two fools united together,
Oh, what a rider you will do!)
ISABELLA
Hey! ... Coffee ...
Two Mori bring coffee.
Lindoro
You are served.
ISABELLA
Go to levar Elvira.
My Lady, favorite.
It is the husband who invites you:
You do not have to pray.
MUSTAFA
(What is this doing?)
ISABELLA
Glue is kind ...
MUSTAFA
(I drink tosco ... spit bile.)
TADDEO
(Do not sneeze now.)
Lindoro
(The scene is ridiculous.)
MUSTAFA
(I do not know how to simulate anymore.)
ISABELLA
Go away, look at it ...
MUSTAFA
in a whisper to Isabella
Wench!
ISABELLA
It's yes, dear! ...
MUSTAFA
(And it teases me!)
ELVIRA
Quick View...
MUSTAFA
Leave me.
Lindoro
Or do you command? ...
ISABELLA
Complacency ...
ELVIRA
Dear husband ...
ISABELLA? Good boss ...
TADDEO
(Do not sneeze.)
ELVIRA, ISABELLA, LINDORO, TADDEO
You need to console yourself.
MUSTAFA
Go to the sink.
I'm not a baboon ...
I understood, my Lady,
The note in the notebook.
You even play with me,
I will pay you.
I have a fire in my veins,
The more I can not stop.
ALL
I feel a thrill ... a fire, a spite ...
Agitated (a), confused (a) ... quivering ...
My core ... my head ... my mind ...
Delirious ... losing it goes.
In such a proud contrast and peril
Who do I recommend, comfort gives me?
SEVENT SCENE
Small room, as in the scene before Act II.
Haly only
HALY
With all his boria
This time the Bey loses his head.
I tasted it. So much mania
He had an Italian ... He wants more
With women raised in that country,
But it goes well that he learns at his own expense.
Air
HALY
The females of Italy
They are casual and shrewd.
And they know more than others
The art of making love.
In gallantry
The ingenious have refined:
And then stay confused
Who will want gabbar.

SCENE EIGHT
Taddeo and Lindoro
Recitative
TADDEO
And you hope to take Isabella away
From the hands of the Bey?
Lindoro
This is the plot.
That she prays and craves you,
That you have to secondar.
TADDEO
Do not you want? ... For bacchus!
You already know who I am.
Lindoro
Are not you uncle?
TADDEO
You think?
Lindoro
How how?...
TADDEO
You know what matters most
And ignore the men? To have some lover
Did the lady never tell you?
Lindoro
I know that a lover adores: it is for him alone
Let her ...
TADDEO
Well. I'm that one.
Lindoro
I console it. (ha! ha!)
NONA SCENE
The sayings
TADDEO
I swear, friend, that in this ugly tangle
another, I have nothing but his love;
before now it was not, I confess,
of her too happy;
I suspected that of a certain Lindoro,
his first lover, still in love,
he wanted the lady to make fun of me;
but now I have seen that there is no cicisbeo
that he can staccar it from his Taddeo.
Lindoro
Live alive! (ah! ah! ...)
but shut up: in fact, Mustafa.
Courage, second my speech with art;
I will then tell you what you have to do.
SCENE DECIMA
Mustapha and sayings
MUSTAFA
Come on: your niece with whom she believes
To have to do? I took this woman
For one of your suckers?
Lindoro
But forgive. She is ready to everything.
TADDEO
And do you complain?
MUSTAFA
Are you serious?
Lindoro
Feel. In confidence
She sends me to tell you
What a spasm of love.
MUSTAFA
Love?
Lindoro
He told me infin,
What to make of her more and more worthy,
She did the drawing,
With great solemnity between songs and sounds,
And at the tremolar of the loving faces,
To want you to create his Pappataci.
Trio
MUSTAFA
Pappataci! What ever I hear!
Thank you. I'm happy.
But of grace, Pappataci
What does it then mean?
Lindoro
In color they never know
Disgust with good sex,
In Italy it is granted
This singolar titol.
TADDEO
You gave me a noble place.
Or you have paid it.
Kaimakan and Pappataci
We are there: what do you think?
MUSTAFA
The Italian is kind,
Nate are to be loved.
LINDORO and TADDEO
(If I ever go back to my countries,
This too is to be counted.)
MUSTAFA
Pappataci ...
Lindoro
It's a nice job.
TADDEO
Very easy to learn.
MUSTAFA
But explain, please:
Pappataci, what does he have to do?
LINDORO and TADDEO
Between loves and beauties,
Between jokes and caresses,
He must sleep, eat and drink,
Gee to sleep, and then eat.
Pappataci dee mangiar,
Pappataci dee dormir.
Pappataci must ber,
Pappataci has to sleep,
Pappataci has from goder.
MUSTAFA

Ready we have irons and hands
To flee with you here,
How vague the Italians are
At the trial we will see.

Friends, in every event
I entrust myself to you. But soon I hope,
Without risk and contention,
To get to the thoughtful enterprise.
Why are you laughing, Taddeo? It may still be
I'm laughing at you.
in Lindoro
You pale,
Slave gentil? Ah! If you pity yourself
My peril, my tender love,
If they speak to your core
Homeland, duty and honor, from the others you learn
To show you Italian; and to the events
Of the volubil fate
A woman teaches you to be strong.
Think of the fatherland, and fearless
Your having to fulfill:
See throughout Italy
Rinascer the examples
D'ardir and of valor.
