Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:

Il Duca in costume borghese viene dalla strada.

RIGOLETTO
Ah, veglia, o donna, questo fiore
Che a te puro confi...
Alcun v'è fuori!

Apre la porta della corte e, mentre esce a guardar sulla strada, il Duca guizza furtivo nella corte e si nasconde dietro l'albero; gettando a Giovanna una borsa la fa tacere.

GILDA
Cielo!
Sempre novel sospetto!

RIGOLETTO
a Giovanna, tornando
Alla chiesa vi seguiva mai nessuno?

GIOVANNA
Mai.

DUCA
(Rigoletto!)

RIGOLETTO
Se talor qui picchian,
Guardatevi d'aprire...

GIOVANNA
Nemmeno al Duca?

RIGOLETTO
Men che ad altri a lui.
Mia figlia, addio.

DUCA
(Sua figlia!)

English Libretto or Translation:

The Duke, dressed as a commoner, appears in the street.

RIGOLETTO
O woman, watch over this flower,
entrusted pure, to your..
There is someone outside!

He opens the gate and, as he goes out into the street, the Duke slips into the courtyard and hides behind the tree, throwing a purse to Giovanna to ensure her silence.

GILDA
Dear God!
Always some new suspicion!

RIGOLETTO
returning, to Giovanna
Has anyone ever followed you to church?

GIOVANNA
Never.

DUKE
(Rigoletto!)

RIGOLETTO
If anyone ever knocks,
mind you don't open the gate.

GIOVANNA
Not even for the Duke?

RIGOLETTO
Especially not for him.
My daughter, good night.

DUKE
(His daughter!)
