CONTE No! Di geloso amor sprezzato Arde in me tremendo il foco! Il tuo sangue, o sciagurato, Ad estinguerlo fia poco! a Leonora Dirgli, o folle, - Io t'amo - ardisti!... Ei più vivere non può... Un accento proferisti Che a morir lo condannò!
LEONORA Un istante almen dia loco Il tuo sdegno alla ragione... Io, sol io, di tanto foco Son, pur troppo, la cagione! Piombi, ah! piombi il tuo furore Sulla rea che t'oltraggiò... Vibra il ferro in questo core, Che te amar non vuol, né può.
MANRICO Del superbo vana è l'ira; Ei cadrà da me trafitto. Il mortal che amor t'ispira, Dall'amor fu reso invitto. al Conte La tua sorte è già compita... L'ora ormai per te suonò! Il suo core e la tua vita Il destino a me serbò!
English Libretto or Translation:
COUNT No! My spurned and jealous love burns in me with a terrible flame! Your blood, wretch, would be hardly enough to put it out! Foolish girl, you dared to tell him, “I love you”. He can live no longer. You uttered a word that condemned him to die! You uttered a word, etc.
LEONORA At least for a moment, let your scorn make room for reasoning: I, and only I, am unfortunately the cause of all your fire! So let your fury fall on the evil girl who offended you; plunge your sword into this heart that cannot, will not love you.
MANRICO The haughty man's wrath is in vain; he'll fall, run through by me; the man who can inspire your love is made by love invincible. to the Count Your fate is already sealed; your hour has struck now! Destiny has given to me her heart and your life!
