GERMONT
Un dì, quando le veneri
Il tempo avrà fugate,
Fia presto il tedio a sorgere
Che sarà allor? pensate
Per voi non avran balsamo
I più soavi affetti|
Poiché dal ciel non furono
Tai nodi benedetti.
VIOLETTA
È vero!
GERMONT
Ah, dunque sperdasi
Tal sogno seduttore
Siate di mia famiglia
L'angiol consolatore
Violetta, deh, pensateci,
Ne siete in tempo ancor.
È Dio che ispira, o giovine
Tai detti a un genitor.
GERMONT
One day, when time
Has put your charms to flight,
Boredom will swiftly rise.
What will happen then? Think!
The gentle balm of affection
Will not be for you,
Because the threads that bound you
Had not been blessed by heaven.
VIOLETTA
It's true!
GERMONT
Ah, why not, then, abandon
So tempting a dream?
Be the consoling angel
Of my family!
Violetta, only think,
You still have time for that.
My child, it's God who inspires
The words this father speaks.
