The aria "Voce Di Donna" is sung immediately after La Cieca is rescued—it is a prayer of gratitude. In humility and reverence, La Cieca expresses her deep appreciation to Laura.
She offers Laura her rosary, the most precious thing she possesses—a symbol of faith, hope, and purity. This touching act of blessing and profound gratitude highlights La Cieca’s nobility and spiritual strength, despite her physical frailty.

"Oh, the Geese Were Flying..."
– L. Yashchenko
In the Ukrainian song "Ой летіли гуси", the heroine watches geese arriving at the Danube, symbolizing freedom and the possibility of returning home. She dreams of flying with them to her parents, but as she sees the geese in pairs, she sadly realizes her youth—and the chance to return home—are slipping away.
