Un Ballo in Maschera: Act III. Forse La Soglia Attinse

RICCARDO
(Solo)
Forse la soglia attinse,
E posa alfin. L'onore
Ed il dover fra i nostri petti han rotto
L'abisso. Ah, sì, Renato
Rivedrà l'Inghilterra... e la sua sposa
Lo seguirà Senza un addio, l'immenso
Mar ne separi... e taccia il core.
(Scrive e nel momento di apporre
La firma lascia cader la penna)
Esito ancor? ma, o ciel, non lo degg'io?
(Sottoscrive e chiude il foglio in seno)
Ah, l'ho segnato il sacrifizio mio!
RICARDO
(Solo)
Quizás ella logró ya la paz.
El honor y el deber han abierto
Un abismo en nuestros corazones.
Renato volverá a ver Inglaterra...
Y su esposa lo seguirá.
Que el inmenso océano nos separe...
Y acalle nuestro corazón.
(Escribe, y en el momento de firmar
Deja caer la pluma)
¿Dudo aún? Pero...¿no debo hacerlo?
(Firma y se guarda el papel)
¡Ah, ya he firmado mi sacrificio!

A Masked Ball: Act III. Perhaps She Has Already Crossed the Threshold

RICCARDO
(Solo)
Perhaps she has already crossed the threshold,
And is resting at last. Honor
And duty have created an abyss between our hearts.
Ah, yes, Renato
Will see England again... and his wife
Will follow him. Without a farewell, the vast
Ocean separates us... and let our hearts be silent.
(Writes and in the moment of putting
His signature drops the pen)
Do I still hesitate? But, oh heaven, should I not?
(Signs and puts the letter in his bosom)
Ah, I have made my sacrifice!
RICARDO
(Solo)
Perhaps she has already achieved peace.
Honor and duty have opened
An abyss in our hearts.
Renato will see England again...
And his wife will follow him.
May the vast ocean separate us...
And silence our hearts.
(Writes and, in the moment of signing,
Drops the pen)
Do I still doubt? But...should I not do it?
(Signs and keeps the paper)
Ah, I have already signed my sacrifice!
