Peasant Girls:
Adina! Adina! That wretched Adina!
She screeches and squawks like an old concertina.
Her gossiping, gossiping, strikes me as vicious.
Oh, did she indeed spread these rumours malicious?
Gianetta:
She speaks foul conjecture.
The girl needs a lecture.
Oh, what is she thinking?
I bet she's been drinking.
Maria:
To say what she's guessing
Is rude and distressing.
To curse us with rumours,
She must have gone bloomers!
Tomaso:
If you can't be pleasant,
Say nothing at all.
This ill-mannered peasant
Is due for a fall.
Girls:
This ill-mannered peasant
Is due for a fall.
Ah!
Adina! Adina! That wretched Adina!
She screeches and squawks like an old concertina.
Her gossiping, gossiping, strikes me as vicious.
Oh did she indeed spread these rumours malicious?
Adina! Adina! ...etc.
