NEMORINO
There is no doubt about it, she’s my Isolda, and I’m her happy love, I am her Tristan. La la la la …
ADINA
Now who is that idiot, I wonder?
Not Nemorino?
ADINA
Now who is that idiot, I wonder?
Not Nemorino?
ADINA
And so happy? Why is that?
NEMORINO
La la la la … Hang it all! Adina! But no I’ll take my time. I will not burden her with my sighing just now.
Because tomorrow, when the potion takes hold, she will adore me.)
ADINA
He doesn’t even look! He dares ignore me!
NEMORINO
La la la la ra la…
ADINA
Can he be really happy, or is it just put on?
NEMORINO
She’s still as cold as ever…La la la la ra la
ADINA
I think he wants to fool me,
NEMORINO
She’s still as cold as ever (SECOND TIME)
ADINA
He’s acting very strangely.
NEMORINO
She’s still as cold as ever (THIRD TIME)
ADINA
Ha ha ha!
NEMORINO
She’s laughing at my love for her, that heartless, cruel Adina! Tomorrow she will laugh no more, she’ll fall in love with me, that heartless girl, she’ll fall in love with me, in love with me.
ADINA
(The fool, he tries too tear in vain,
the bond that holds him captive)
ADINA
(The fool, he tries too tear in vain,

ADINA

NEMORINO
La ra la la la la la
ADINA
Not bad, my lad! You learn your lesson quickly.
ADINA
Not bad, my lad! You learn your lesson quickly.
ADINA
You’re doing what I told you.
NEMORINO
I try to make the best of it as long as I can’t hold you
ADINA
So you no longer love me?
NEMORINO
I’m hoping to forget you.
ADINA
Then you can live without me?
NEMORINO
I hope it won’t upset you; and by tomorrow morning my heart will be all well.
ADINA
Indeed? So much the better… However time will tell
NEMORINO
Yes, by tomorrow.
ADINA
Time will tell, time will tell.
NEMORINO
She’s laughing at my love for her, that heartless cruel Adina!
ADINA
The fool, he tries to tear in vain the bond that holds him captive.
NEMORINO
Tomorrow she will laugh no more, she’ll fall in love with me.
ADINA
The more he strives to break his chain the stronger it will be.
NEMORINO
She’s laughing at my love for her…
ADINA
(The fool he tries to tear in vain, the fool, he tries to tear in vain the bond that holds him captive; the more he strives to break his chain, the stronger it will be.
