Alfredo finds out from Annina (Violetta's maid) that Violetta has had to sell many of her possessions to finance their life in the country. He is ashamed that he didn't realize that this would happen and resolves that he will go to Paris to get the money she needs. Les Choregies d'Orange, 1993. The #6 refers to the order in which you may want to watch the videos - #5 is the video uploaded by another YouTuber, "De' meiei bollenti spiriti" where Alfredo sings of his happiness. I haven't uploaded 3 & 4 yet.
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!
