I've lost it. Wretched me! Where could it be?
I can't find it...
I've lost it. Wretched me! Where could it be?
I can't find it...
My cousin... and the master... What will they say?
Barbarina, what's wrong? I've lost it, cousin.
-Lost what? -Lost what?
The pin that the master gave me to return to Susanna.
The pin... to Susanna?
And so, my dear, you've already learned how to take part in such games?
Are you angry with me? Can't you see I'm only joking?
Here's the pin that the count gave you to return to Susanna...
...that served as the seal to a note. You see, I know all about it.
Then why do you ask me if you already know everything?
I would enjoy hearing just how the master instructed you.
Gladly!
"Young girl, take this pin to the lovely Susanna...
"...and tell her: Here's the seal of the pine grove."
And he also said: "careful no one sees you!"
So you won't tell anyone? Certainly not.
It doesn't concern you. No, not at all.
Goodbye, then, my good cousin. I'll off to see Susanna... and then Cherubino!
Mother! I'm dying! Calm yourself, my son!
Patience, patience!
It's a serious matter that requires some thought.
You can't be sure on whom the joke is being played.
That pin is the one he just picked up a little while ago.
Yes, but at most that gives you just cause to stay on your guard.
You don't know for certain... Then I'll just alert.
At least I know where they plan to meet. Where are you going, my son?
To avenge all husbands. Farewell.
I must go warn Susanna. I believe she is innocent.
She has an honest face and a modest demeanor.
Even when one has no personal interest...
...every woman is bound to defend her poor sex...
...from those ungrateful men who oppress us.
He told me to meet him In the pavilion on the left.
Is it this one... or that one? But what if he doesn't come?
I'm in trouble now!
It's Barbarina... who goes there?
Just the people you invited. Why do you look so upset?
You look like a conspirator. What on earth is this secret plan?
You will see shortly, right in this spot.
we will celebrate the union of my honest bride and our feudal lord.
Ah, so that's how things are. They've settled things without me!
Stay close to this area.
Meanwhile, I'm going to give some orders and will return here shortly.
When I whistle, everyone come running.
The devil's gotten into him!
What do you stand to gain by it? Nothing.
The count likes Susanna.
She has agreed to meet him here, and Figaro doesn't like it.
And is he supposed to take it without complaining?
Why shouldn't he suffer what so many others have suffered as well?
And what's more, what has he to gain ?
In this world, my friend, it's always dangerous to confront powerful people.
They give you 90% and still come out the victors.
Everything is ready. It must be near the time of their meeting.
I hear people coming.
It is she...
No, I was wrong. The night is very dark.
Already I am learning how to play the role of the foolish husband.
Traitress!
At the very moment of our wedding, he happily read the note...
...and I, seeing him, laughed at myself without knowing it.
Susanna, how much pain you cost me!
With that sweet face...
With those innocent eyes...
who could have believed it?
Ah, it is always folly to trust a woman!
Open your eyes, foolish and incautious men!
Take a look at these women, see how they really are!
Your deluded senses perceive them as goddesses...
...to whom your feeble mind pays tribute.
They bewitch you just to make you suffer.
They lure you like sirens only to drown you.
They're owls who attract us in order to pluck our feathers.
They're comets that blind us with their light.
They're roses with thorns, charming vixens.
They're docile she-bears, malicious doves...
Masters of deceit, friends of grief.
They lie and pretend;they don't know love...
...and they show no pity!
I'll say no more.You already know the rest!
open your eyes, foolish and incautious men!
Take a look at these women, see how they really are!
witches who cast spells on us... I'll say no more.
Sirens who lure us... I'll say no more.
owls that attract us... I'll say no more.
comets that blind us... I'll say no more.
They're roses with thorns, charming vixens.
They're docile she-bears, malicious doves...
Masters of deceit, friends of grief.
They lie and pretend; they don't know love...
...and they show no pity!
I'll say no more.You already know the rest!
You already know the rest!
My lady, Marcellina tells me that Figaro is on his way.
Rather, he's already here. Lower your voice.
well then, one is listening to us already, the other is coming to look for me.
My lady, you are trembling! The night air is damp; I'll go inside.
(Here we are, at the height of the drama.)
If my lady allows, under these pine trees...
I would like to get some fresh air. (Fresh air!)
Take your time.
The rascal is standing guard. Let's have some fun with him.
I'll repay him for his suspicions!
The moment has arrived when I'll take delight in the arms of my beloved.
Prudence be gone from heart; do not stand in the way of my pleasure!
How the beauty of the setting, heaven and earth...
...echo the passion in my heart.
How the dark night aids my secret rendezvous!
come, don't delay, o precious one.
come to where Love bids you enjoy yourself...
... While the moon remains hidden...
... While the air is black, and the world is at rest.
Here the brook murmurs, the breeze plays...
Its sweet whispers restore the heart.
Here the little flowers smile, and the grass is cool.
Everything lures you to love's pleasures.
come, my dear, among this concealing foliage.
come!
I want to crown your brow with roses.
Traitress! Can she have been fooling me all along?
Am I awake or dreaming?
Someone's coming. I'll follow Barbarina.
-I see a woman. -Oh,wretched me!
In this darkness, it seems to be Susanna!
what bad luck if the count shows up now!
I will quietly approach her - a fine way to pass the time!
(what a mess if the count shows up now!)
Susanna dear...
She doesn't respond... and covers her face with her hand.
But I'll get her now...
Impudent boy, go away from here at once!
Naughty girl, I know why you're here!
-Go away at once! -I know why you're here!
-There's my Susanna! -There's the hunter!
-Don't be so mean to me! -Oh, how my heart is racing!
-Leave here, or I'll call for help. -Give me kiss at least!
A kiss? How daring!
why can't I kiss you ? You allow it from the count!
(What nerve!)
You know I was hiding behind the chair.
If the rascal keeps on like this, he'll ruin the scheme!
-In the meantime, take this... -Oh heavens, the count!
To stop you in your tracks, take this from me!
(Ah, my curiosity earned mea fine reward!)
Ah, his boldness earned him a fine reward!
Now that the bold one is finally gone...
come closer, my darling.
If it pleases you, here I am, Sir.
What an obedient woman. what a good hearted bride!
-Give me your little hand. -Here it is.
-Dearest! -(Dearest!)
what tender fingers and delicate skin...
They excite me with a renewed passion!
He's lost his reason over this infatuation!
He's totally deluded!
Aside from the dowry, accept also this gem...
...as a token of your lover's devotion.
Susanna accepts everything from her benefactor.
(It's all going beautifully, but the best is yet to come!)
Sir, I can see the light of torches approaching.
Then let us go in hear to hide ourselves!
Wretched husbands, learn a lesson from this!
-In the dark, good Sir? -That's what I want.
I'm not taking you there to read.
(The rogues are caught. The plan is going well.)
-Who goes there? -Some people go there!
-It's Figaro... I've got to go! -Go on ahead: I'll follow.
Everything is peaceful.
My beautiful Venus has gone...
...to meet with her handsome Mars.
Like a modern Vulcan, I'll forge the chains to trap them.
-Figaro, be quiet. -Ah, there's the countess.
You've arrived just in time. See for yourself...
The count and my wife! They're so close...
...you can almost touch them.
Speak a little softer. I won't budge from here...
...until I've had my revenge!
(Susanna!)
-You want revenge? -Yes.
How shall we do it?
-(I want to catch the villain...) -(The *** is trying to catch me...)
-(...and I know just what to do.) -(...and I'll help her with her plan.)
-If that's what my Lady wishes! -Come now, let's get on with it.
I throw myself at your feet, my heart is on fire.
No one will see us here... Just think of the traitor!
-(How I'd like to slap him!) -(How my heart swells with love!)
-(How mad he's made me!) -(How mad I've made her!)
Can you summon the passion ? -My indignation will inspire me.
Let's not lose time. Give me your hand...
-Take it, Sir. -What a slap!
-And take this one, and this one,too! -Don't hit me so hard!
O welcome beating, o my happy love!
I'll teach you to play the seducer!
Calm yourself, my precious. I recognized the voice that I love...
...the voice that is engraved in my heart.
-My voice? -The voice that I adore.
Calm yourself, my precious, peace, my tender love.
-I can't find her anywhere. -That's the count's voice.
-Hey, Susanna!Are you deaf or dumb? -Excellent. He hasn't recognized her!
-Who? -My lady!
Let's bring the comedy to a close and console the strange lover.
Yes, my Lady, you are my darling.
My wife! And I am unarmed.
-Grant some solace to my heart. -I will do whatever you wish.
Ah, the scoundrels!
Let us hasten to remedy pain with pleasure!
-Men, to arms! -The Master!
-Some help here! -I'm lost!
What has happened ?
That villain has betrayed and defamed me...
...and with whom, come and see!
I'm stunned! I cannot believe this is true!
Come out of there, my Lady, and pay the price for your actions!
-The page! -My daughter!
-My mother! -The mistress!
Your plot is discovered. Behold the wicked woman!
-Forgive me! -You have no hope of pardon.
-Forgive me! -No, I won't grant forgiveness.
-Forgive me! -No, no, no!
Perhaps you would forgive them for my sake?
(Heavens,what do I see? Is this an illusion ?)
(I can't believe what I'm seeing!)
Countess, forgive me!
I am kinder than you, and answer yes.
Ah, everyone will be happy now.
This day of torment, of whims, of madness...
...concludes in happiness and contentment only by the grace of Love.
Lovers and friends, let us dance, play, and light fireworks!
Together we will hasten to celebrate, to the sound of the happy march.
Let us hasten...
Let us hasten to the celebrations!
