La traviata - Giuseppe Verdi - Act II
Alfredo and Violetta are living in a country house near Paris, where he praises their contentment ("De' miei bollenti spiriti"). But when the maid, Annina, reveals that Violetta has pawned her jewels to keep the house, Alfredo sings O mio rimorso and then leaves for the city to settle matters at his own cost.
O mio rimorso!
O infamia!
Io vissi in tale errore!
Ma il turpe sono a frangere
Il ver mi balenň.
Per poco in seno acquetati,
O grido dell' onore;
M'avrai securo vindice;
Quest' onta laverň.
O mio rossor!
O infamia!
Ah, sě, quest'onta laverň.
De' miei bollenti spiriti
Il giovanile ardore
Ella temprň col placido
Sorriso dell'amore!
Dal dě che disse: vivere
Io voglio a te fedel,
Dell'universo immemore
Io vivo quasi in ciel.
My passionate spirit
And the fire of youth
She tempers with the
Gentle smile of love.
Since the day when she told me
"I want to live, faithful to you alone!"
I have forgotten the world
And lived like one in heaven …
