ALFREDO
We'll leave Paris, my dearest,
Together we'll go through life.

In reward for your past sorrows,
You'll bloom into health again.
Breath of life, sunshine you'll be to me,

All the years to come will smile on us.

VIOLETTA

We'll leave Paris, my dearest,
Together we'll go through life.


ALFREDO
Yes.


VIOLETTA
In reward for past sorrows,
I shall bloom into health again.

Breath of life, sunshine you'll be to me,
All the years to come will smile on us.
Ah, no more!

Let's go to church, Alfredo,
And give thanks for your return.


ALFREDO
You've gone pale!


VIOLETTA
It's nothing.
A joy so sudden is overwhelming,

When one has been sad at heart.

ALFREDO

God in heaven! Violetta!

VIOLETTA

It's the way the illness takes me!
Just weakness!
I'm all right now.

See! I'm smiling.

ALFREDO

How cruel fate is!

VIOLETTA

It was nothing!
Annina, help me to dress.


ALFREDO
Not now! Wait a little ...


VIOLETTA
No! I want to go out.
Oh, heaven! I can't!



ALFREDO

To see her like this!
Go and get the Doctor!


VIOLETTA
to Annina
Tell him Alfredo is back,

Back in my arms,
Tell him I want to live again!
But if you haven't saved me by coming back,

No one on earth can do it.
Ah, God in heaven!
That I should die so young,

After so much suffering!
To die so near the dawn
After the long night of tears!

It was only an illusion,
My hope and my belief!
My heart, so long believing

Was constant all in vain!

ALFREDO
Breath of my life
And beating of my heart,

My soul's only delight!
Let me mingle
My tears with yours!
But more than ever, believe me
I need your true devotion.

So do not close your heart
To all hope.

VIOLETTA
Oh, Alfredo, how sad an ending

To our love and my life!

ALFREDO
Oh, Violetta, your sadness
Is worse to me than death!
