Act 2 - 7: Quanto hai penato anima mia!
     

Cavaradossi
Floria, is it you?

Tosca
How you have suffered.
But he will pay for it.

Cavaradossi
Tosca, did you tell them?

Tosca
No, my love.

Cavaradossi
Tosca, did you tell them?

Tosca
No, my love.

 

 
Scarpia
The well in the garden! Go, Spoletta!

Cavaradossi
You've betrayed me! I curse you!


Sciarrone enters.


Sciarrone
Excellency, terrible news!

Scarpia
What's wrong?

Sciarrone
A defeat!

Scarpia
Where? How?

Sciarrone
At Marengo.

Scarpia
Fool! That's wrong.

Sciarrone
Bonaparte has won. Melas has fled!

Cavaradossi
The dawn of vengeance appears
to strike terror in our foes!
Freedom shall arise and tyrants will be struck down!
I rejoice in my suffering...

Scarpia
Such bravado!

Cavaradossi
Let your heart tremble, you butcher!

Scarpia
Your fate is sealed!
Take him away, the scaffold awaits!


Sciarrone and agents seize Cavaradossi and carry him away.


 

 

 

 
Tosca
Mario, I'll go with you.

Scarpia
You stay!
