BORSA, MARULLO, CEPRANO, COROScorrendo uniti remota via,
Brev'ora dopo caduto il dì,
Come previsto ben s'era in pria,
Rara beltà ci si scopri.
Era l'amante di Rigoletto,
Che vista appena si dileguò.
Già di rapirla s'avea il progetto,
Quando il buffone ver noi spuntò;
Che di Ceprano noi la contessa
Rapir volessimo, stolto, credé;
La scala, quindi, all'uopo messa,
Bendato ei stesso ferma tené.
Salimmo, e rapidi la giovinetta
A noi riusciva quindi asportar.
Quand'ei s'accorse della vendetta
Restò scornato ad imprecar.
DUCA
(Cielo!… È dessa, la mia diletta!)
ai cortigiani
Ma dove or trovasi la poveretta?
BORSA, MARULLO, CEPRANO, CORO
Fu da noi stessi addotta or qui.
DUCA
(Ah, tutto il ciel non mi rapì!)
alzandosi con gioia
(Possente amor mi chiama,
Volar io deggio a lei:
Il serto mio darei
Per consolar quel cor.
Ah! sappia alfin chi l'ama
Conosca alfin chi sono,
Apprenda ch'anco in trono
Ha degli schiavi Amor.)
BORSA, MARULLO, CEPRANO, CORO
Oh qual pensier or l'agita?
Come cangiò d'umor!
English Libretto or Translation:
BORSA, MARULLO, CEPRANO, CHORUSTogether we went at nightfall,
to a street on the edge of the town;
there, as we had foreseen,
we found a most beautiful girl.
It was Rigoletto's paramour,
but as soon as we saw her, she vanished.
Our plans to abduct her were ready,
when along came the jester himself,
whom we convinced, the simpleton,
that we were after Ceprano's countess.
So once we had set up the ladder,
he, blindfolded, held it secure.
We climbed up and in less than no time
had carried the young girl away.
When he realized how we'd paid him out,
you should have heard him curse!
DUKE
(Heavens! It's her, my beloved!)
to the Chorus
But where is the poor girl now?
BORSA, MARULLO, CEPRANO, CHORUS
We brought her here ourselves.
DUKE
(Ah, heaven has not stolen everything from me!)
joyfully, rising
(Mighty love calls me,
and I to her must fly:
I would give my crown
to console her heart.
Ah, she shall know at last who loves her
and learn who I really am:
she shall learn that Love counts
among his slaves even those on thrones.)
BORSA, MARULLO, CEPRANO, CHORUS
Oh, what thought now excites him?
How his mood has changed!
