Alfredo – De’ miei bollenti spiriti
My passionate spirit
And the fire of youth
She tempers with the
Gentle smile of love.
Since the day when she told me
“I want to live, faithful to you alone!”
I have forgotten the worlds
And I lived like one in heaven…
(Annina enters in great agitation, dressed for travelling.)
Annina, where have you been?
ANNINA
Paris
ALFREDO
Who sent you?
ANNIAN
My mistress
ALFREDO
Why?
ANNINA
To sell the horses and carriages
And all her other things.
ALFREDO
What do you mean?
ANNINA
It’s very costly living here on our own.
ALFREDO
But why didn’t you tell me?
ANNINA
She said I mustn’t.
ALFREDO
Mustn’t? How much do we need?
ANNINA
A thousand louis.
ALFREDO
All right, you may go…
I’m going to Paris myself.
Don’t tell your mistress that you talked to me;
There’s still time to put things straight.
Go! Go!
(Annina goes out.)
ALFREDO
Oh, my remorse! Oh, disgrace!
And I lived so mistaken!
Bu 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 was away this infamy!
(Alfredo goes out. Violetta enters with some papers in her hand, talking to Annina. Behind them is Giuseppe.)
