Ah, un foco insolito, Don Pasquale's aria from Don Pasquale

Ah, un foco insolito mi sento addosso,
Omai resistere io più non posso,
Dell'età vecchia scordo i malanni,
Mi sento giovine come a vent'anni,
Deh, cara affrettati, vieni sposina,
Ecco di bamboli mezza dozzina,
Già veggo nascere, già veggo crescere,
A me dintorno veggo scherzar,
Chè un foco insolito mi sento addosso,
O casco morto quà.
