Prelude
After long and heavy labour
How delightful, how enchanting
That's a really happy ending
Lovely was Queen Isolda
Marziale
To the one who shines in beauty
If you love me as I love you
Too soon, my lovely creature
The same old tedious passion!
For example, ask the breezes
Such affection is but folly
What's the meaning of that kind of fanfare?
Attention! Attention!
Have courage!
It was Tristan who employed it
Magical potion! I have you
Who is that madman?
Trallarallara
Oh, let her laugh and mock at me
Tran, tran, tran, tran
Ha, ha! Of course, that's quite all right
One moment, sergeant!
Adina, think again
Today's our wedding
Sing up, then
Since singing is your pleasure
I am rich and you are pretty
Pray silence!
I always like a wedding
Is that not like a woman
Twenty florins!
Shake my hand, then, my young shaver
Can it be possible?
I've polished off two bottles now
It's magnificent!
I see it perfectly
Why should he seem so happy?
How he loved me!
With a look of love and laughter
Only one teardrop glistened there
Here she is
Take it!
All right. Take this then!
Halt! Right turn!
It will give you cheeks like peaches
