Husar: Wohlan! Die Zeit ist kommen! Mein Pferd, das muß gesattelt sein! Ich hab' mir's vorgenommen, geritten muß es sein! Geh' du nur hin! Ich hab' mein Teil! Ich lieb' dich nur aus Narretei! Ohn' dich kann ich wohl leben, ja leben! Ohn' dich kann ich wohl sein! So setz' ich mich auf's Pferdchen, und trink' ein Gläschen kühlen Wein, und schwör's bei meinem Bärtchen: dir ewig treu zu sein! Mädchen: Du glaubst, du bist der Schönste wohl auf der ganzen weiten Welt, und auch der Angenehmste! Ist aber weit, weit gefehlt! In meines Vaters Garten wächst eine Blume drin: so lang' will ich noch warten, bis die noch größer ist. Und geh' du nur hin! Ich hab' mein Teil! Ich lieb' dich nur aus Narretei! Ohn' dich kann ich wohl leben, ohn' dich kann ich wohl sein! Beide: Du denkst, ich werd' dich nehmen! Das hab' ich lang' noch nicht im Sinn! Ich muß mich deiner schämen, wenn ich in Gesellschaft bin!

Ussaro: Orsù! Il momento è arrivato! Debbo sellare il cavallo! E' qui davanti a me, pronto per essere cavalcato! E ora va' per la tua strada! Mi tengo la mia parte! Se ti amo è per pura follia! Senza di te posso ben vivere! Ed anche aver buona sorte! Così ora monto sul mio cavallino, di fresco vino mi bevo un bicchierino, e sulla mia barbetta faccio giuramento: di rimanerti fedele in eterno! Fanciulla: Tu credi di essere il più bello che può trovarsi in tutto il vasto mondo, e di essere ovunque bene accettato! Ma sappi che ti sei proprio sbagliato! Nel giardino di mio padre è piantato un fiore che sta maturando: io voglio aspettare fin quando il fiore non sarà tutto sbocciato. E ora va' per la tua strada! Mi tengo la mia parte! Se ti amo è per pura follia! Senza di te posso ben vivere! Ed anche aver buona sorte! Insieme: Tu credi, che io ti appartenga! Ma io non ci penso per niente! Di te provo pure vergogna, se sono in mezzo alla gente!
