Rustic Chivalry (Cavalleria Rusticana): Melodrama in One Act
SCENE VII.
CONTINUATION OF THE DUET.
_Turiddu._
(To Sant.)
Ah! how foolish! naught availing!
_Santuzza._
(Coldly.)
I have spoken; 'tis well--'tis the truth.
_Turiddu._
(Threateningly.)
Ah! by heaven!
_Santuzza._ My heart is breaking!
_Turiddu._
(Approaching her.)
No!
_Santuzza._
(Warding him away.)
Turiddu, ah! hear me!
_Turiddu._
Go!
(Turns from her.)
_Santuzza._
(Threateningly.)
False! False!
_Turiddu._
(With increased rage.)
Thus I reward thee in my anger.
(Throws her down, and hastens into the church.)
_Santuzza._
(In the height of fury.)
Accurs'd! accurs'd at Easter, thou false one.
(Falls, despairingly.)
SCENA VII.
_Turiddu._
(Con ironia.)
Ah! lo vedi, che hai tu detto?
_Santuzza._
(Fredda.)
L'hai voluto e ben ti sta!
_Turiddu._
(S'avventa.)
Ah! Per Dio!
_Santuzza._ Squarciami il petto.
_Turiddu._
(S'avvia.)
No!
_Santuzza._
(Trattenendolo.)
Turiddu, ascolta!
_Turiddu._ Va!
_Santuzza._
(Minacciosa.)
Bada!
_Turiddu._
(Con moltissima forza.)
Dell'ira tua non mi curo!
(La getta a terra e fugge in chiesa.)
_Santuzza._
(Nel colmo dell'ira.)
A te la mala Pasqua, spergiuro!
(Cade affranta ed angosciata.)
