Esulti Pur La Barbara

Dear elixir! You are mine!
Yes, all mine as powerful as you should be
Your virtue, if not yet drunk
Already fills my chest with so much joy!
But why can't I see
The effect of it
Before a whole day
Has passed?

Oh, good! Oh, dear!
Another sip
Oh, what sweet warmth
Runs through vein to vein!
Ah! Perhaps even she
Perhaps the flame itself
Begins to feel it for sure she feels it
Joy and appetite announce it to me
That suddenly awoke in me

Who is that fool?
Do I see right, or is it Nemorino?
So cheerful! And why?

Damn! It's her
But no, we won't approach
She won't tire of my sighs for now
So tomorrow she will have to adore me
That heartless one

She doesn't even look at me!
How she has changed!

La ra, la ra, la lera!
La ra, la ra, la ra

I don't know if her joy
Is fake or real
So far she doesn't feel love
She wants to act indifferent

Let Barbara rejoice
For a little at my pains
Tomorrow they will end
Tomorrow she will love me

I would like to break the fool
Throw off his chains
But heavier than usual
He will feel the burden

La ra, la ra

Bravo!
The lesson benefits you

It's true: I put it into practice
Just as a test

So, the suffering first?
I hope to forget it

So, the old flame?
It will extinguish soon
Just one more day
And the heart will heal

Really? I console myself
But we will see

Nemorino
Let Barbara rejoice
For a little at my pains
Tomorrow they will end
Tomorrow she will love me

I would like to break the fool
Throw off his chains
But heavier than usual
He will feel the burden
