Turiddu. Ah! thou wert spying!
Santuzza. No, I do swear it!
Her husband, Alfio, saw thee
Here within the town, and told it me!
Turiddu. So thou rewardest the love I gave thee,
What though he slay me!
Santuzza. Ah! Tell me not of murder!
Turiddu. Leave me, I tell thee! leave me!
The rage within me burning—
My righteous wrath, thou canst not assuage!
Santuzza. Then, thou oost love her!
More fair than I is Lola!
False friend! Oh, curses on her!
Turiddu. Santuzza!
Santuzza. She—vilest woman, steals the love that should be mine!
Turiddu. Heed thou!
I am no slave to thy envy
Scornfully showing, jealously showing.
Santuzza. Insult and punishment I am unheeding!
Yet do I love thee,
Even though anguish my heart is rending,
E'en though in sorrow my life is ending.
