Chère Mandina

Language: French (Français) after the Italian (Italiano)

Ténor
  Chère Mandina, cet argent
  Prends-le, garde-le tout pour toi.
Soprano
  Oh, comme vous êtes gracieux et cher !
  Tant d'argent, tout pour moi ?
Ténor
  Donne-moi la main en gage d'amour.
Soprano
  Voici, prenez-la, je vous la donne.
Tous les deux
  Oh, comme je ressens du bonheur dans mon cœur,
  Il n'y a pas de joie plus douce.
Soprano
  Tant d'argent ! Tout pour moi !
Basse
  Excellence, continuez,
  Je sais que vous le faites
  Par bonté, par amitié,
  La malice n'a rien à voir, non, monsieur.
Ténor
  Reste ici, collé à ton épouse,
  Je vous quitte et je m'en vais.
Soprano
  Pippo a quelque chose en tête,
  Il  et ne le peut.
Basse
  J'ai un gros soupçon,
  Et ne sais comment l'oublier.
Soprano
  Ses soupçons sont vagues, ils semblent fous,
  Ils n'ont pas de cause.
Ténor
  Je vais et je reviens, et comment cela
  Va se terminer, moi seul le sais.
