Verdi: Rigoletto / Act 2 - Ella mi fu rapita (original)

Ella mi fu rapita!
E quando, o ciel… Ne' brevi
Istanti prima che il mio presagio inferno
Sull’orma corsa ancora mi spingesse!
Schiuso era l’uscio!
E la magion deserta!
E dove ora sarà quell’angiol caro?
Colei che prima potè in questo core
Destar la fiamma di costanti affetti?
Colei sì pura, al cui modesto sguardo
Quasi spinto a virtù talor me credo?
Ella mi fu rapita!
E chi l’ardiva…
Ma ne avrò, ma ne avrò vendetta…
Lo chiede il pianto della mia diletta
Parmi veder le lagrime
Scorrenti da quel ciglio
Quando fra il dubbio a l’ansia
Del subito periglio
Dell’amor nostro memore
Dell’amor nostro memore
Il suo Gualtier chiamò
Ned ei potea soccorrerti
Cara fanciulla amata;
Ei che vorria coll’anima
Farti quaggiù beata;
Ei che le sfere agli angeli
Ei che le sfere agli angeli
Per te non invidiò
Ei che le sfere
Le sfere agli angeli per te
Per te le sfere agli angeli
Per te non invidiò
Non invidiò per te

Verdi: Rigoletto / Act 2 - Ella mi fu rapita (translation)

She was kidnapped from me!
And when, oh heaven ... Ne 'short
Moments before my hell omen
On the track still pushed me!
The door was open!
And the deserted mansion!
And where will that dear angel be now?
She who first could in this core
Arouse the flame of constant affection?
She so pure, to whose modest gaze
Almost driven to virtue sometimes I believe?
She was kidnapped from me!
And who dared it ...
But I will have it, but I will have revenge ...
The cry of my beloved asks for it
I seem to see the tears
Flowing from that edge
When between doubt and anxiety
Immediately peril
Of our mindful love
Of our mindful love
His Gualtier called
Ned and he could help you
Dear beloved girl;
And what he wants with his soul
Make you blissful down here;
Hey that the spheres to the angels
Hey that the spheres to the angels
For you he did not envy
Hey that the spheres
The spheres to the angels for you
For you the spheres to the angels
For you he did not envy
He did not envy you
