Text#

Voi avete un cor fedele, Come amante appassionato: Ma mio sposo dichiarato, Che farete? cangerete? Dite, allora che sarà? Manterrete fedeltà? Ah! non credo. Già prevedo, Mi potreste corbellar. Non ancora, Non per ora, Non mi vuò di voi fidar. You have a faithful heart, like any impassioned lover; but once my troth is plighted, tell me, what will you do? Will you change? Will you remain faithful? Ah, I cannot believe it! It is already foretold, you will make a fool of me. Not yet, not for now will I trust in you.
