E Susanna non vien! (Le Nozze di Figaro) (Elisabeth Schwarzkopf with Philharmonia Orchestra, cond. Carlo Maria Giulini), 1987
ария графини, Act III, scene VIII
And Susanna hasn't come! I'm anxious to know How the Count took the proposition. The plan seems to me a little rash, And against such a quick and jealous husband! But what harm is there in it? To change my clothes with Susanna's, And hers with mine Under cover of night. Oh, Heaven! What a fatal comedown iI'm reduced to by a cruel husband! Who, after he had me, [gave me] an unheard-of mixture Of infidelity, jealousy and rage! First loved, then insulted, and at last betrayed, You force me to seek help from one of my maids! Where are the lovely moments Of sweetness and pleasure? That came from those lying lips? Why, if all is changed for me Into tears and pain, Has the memory of that goodness Not vanished from my breast? Ah! if only, at least, my faithfulness, Which still loves amidst its suffering, Could bring me the hope Of changing that ungrateful heart!
