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 balenò.
Per poco in seno acquetati,
O grido dell' onore;
M'avrai securo vindice;
Quest' onta laverò.
O mio rossor!
O infamia!
Ah, sì, quest'onta laverò.
ALFREDO
O mio rimorso! O infamia
e vissi in tale errore?
Ma il turpe sogno a frangere
il ver mi balenò.
Per poco in seno acquétati,
o grido dell'onore;
M'avrai securo vindice;
quest'onta laverò.
ALFREDO
Oh, my remorse! Oh, disgrace!
And I lived so mistaken!
But the truth, like a flash,
Has broken my base sleep!
For a little while be calm in my breast,
Oh, cry of honour;
In me you shall have a sure avenger;
I shall wash away this infamy.
Oh, shame! Oh, disgrace!
Ah, yes, I shall wash away this infamy!
