ALFREDO
Libiam ne' lieti calici
Che la bellezza infiora,
E la fuggevol ora
S'inebri a voluttŕ.
Libiam ne' dolci fremiti
Che suscita l'amore,
Poiché quell'occhio al core
indicando Violetta
Onnipotente va.
Libiamo, amor fra i calici
Piů caldi baci avrŕ.
TUTTI
Libiamo, amor fra i calici
Piů caldi baci avrŕ.
VIOLETTA
S'alza
Tra voi saprň dividere
Il tempo mio giocondo;
Tutto č follia nel mondo
Ciň che non č piacer.
Godiam, fugace e rapido
Č il gaudio dell'amore;
Č un fior che nasce e muore,
Né piů si puň goder.
Godiam c'invita un fervido
Accento lusinghier.
TUTTI
Godiam la tazza e il cantico
La notte abbella e il riso;
In questo paradiso
Ne scopra il nuovo dě.
VIOLETTA
ad Alfredo
La vita č nel tripudio.
ALFREDO
a Violetta
Quando non s'ami ancora.
VIOLETTA
ad Alfredo
Nol dite a chi l'ignora.
ALFREDO
a Violetta
Č il mio destin cosě
TUTTI
Godiam la tazza e il cantico
La notte abbella e il riso;
In questo paradiso
Ne scopra il nuovo dě.
ALFREDO
Let's drink from the joyous chalice
Where beauty flowers ...
Let the fleeting hour
To pleasure's intoxication yield.
Let's drink
To love's sweet tremors -
To those eyes
That pierce the heart.
Let's drink to love - to wine
That warms our kisses.
ALL
Ah! Let's drink to love ? to wine
That warms our kisses.
VIOLETTA
rising
With you I would share
My days of happiness;
Everything is folly in this world
That does not give us pleasure.
Let us enjoy life,
For the pleasures of love are swift and fleeting
As a flower that lives and dies
And can be enjoyed no more.
Let's take our pleasure!
While its ardent,
Brilliant summons lures us on.
ALL
Let's take our pleasure
Of wine and
Singing and mirth
Till the new day
Dawns on us in paradise.
VIOLETTA
to Alfredo
Life is just pleasure.
ALFREDO
to Violetta
But if one still waits for love ...
VIOLETTA
to Alfredo
I know nothing of that ? don't tell me …
ALFREDO
to Violetta
But there lies my fate.
ALL
Let's take our pleasure
Of wine and
Singing and mirth,
Till the new day
Dawns on this paradise of ours.
