CORO O figlie amabili - di Don Magnifico, Ramiro il Principe - or or verrà Al suo palagio - vi condurrà: Si canterà - si danzerà: Poi la bellissima - fra l' altrefemmine Sposa carissima - per lui sarà.
CLORINDA, TISBE Ma dunque il principe?
CORO Or or verrà!
CLORINDA, TISBE E la bellissima?
CORO Si sceglierà!
CLORINDA, TISBE Cenerentola vien qua. Le mie scarpe, il mio bonnè. Cenerentola vien qua: Le mie penne, il mio colliè. Nel cervello ho una fucina: Son più bella e vo' trionfar. A un sorriso a un' occhiatina Don Ramiro ha da cascar.
CENERENTOLA Cenerentola vien qua, Cenerentola va là, Cenerentola va su, Cenerentola va giù ... Questo è proprio uno strapazzo! Mi volete far crepar? Chi alla festa, chi al sollazzo, Ed io resto qui a soffiar.
ALIDORO Nel cervello una fucina Sta le pazze a martellar: Ma già pronta è la ruina, Voglio ridere e schiattar.
CORO Già nel capo una fucina Sta le donne a martellar; Il cimento si avvicina Il gran punto a trionfar.
English Libretto or Translation:
CHOIR Or amiable daughters - of Don Magnifico, Ramiro the Prince - or will come At his palace - he will lead you: We will sing - we will dance: Then the beautiful - among the other woman Dearest bride - for him it will be.
CLORINDA, TISBE But then the prince?
CHOIR Now it will come!
CLORINDA, TISBE And the beautiful?
CHOIR We will choose!
CLORINDA, TISBE Cinderella comes here. My shoes, my baby. Cinderella comes here: My pens, my collie. In the brain I have a forge: I am more beautiful and I triumph. To a smile to a glimpse Don Ramiro has da cascar.
CINDERELLA Cinderella comes here, Cinderella goes there, Cinderella goes up, Cinderella goes down ... This is really a scramble! Do you want to make me crepar? Who at the party, who at the solace, And I stay here to blow.
GOLD WINGS A forge in the brain It's the crazy hammers: But ready, it's ruin, I want to laugh and squirm.
CHOIR Already in the head a forge The women are hammering; The trial is approaching The great point to triumph.
