LYRICS:
È la solita storia del pastore...
Il povero ragazzo voleva raccontarla,
e s'addormi.
C'è nel sonno l'oblio,
Come l'invidio!
Anch'io vorrei dormir così
nel sonno almen l'oblio trovar!
La pace sol cercando io vò:
vorrei poter tutto scordar.
Ma ogni sforzo è vano..
Davanti ho sempre di lei
il dolce sembiante!
La pace tolta è solo a me...
Perché degg'io tanto penar?
Lei!... sempre mi parla al cor!
Fatale vision, mi lascia!
mi fai tanto male! Ahimè!

ENGLISH TRANSLATION:
It's the old tale of the shepherd...
The poor boy wanted to retell it
And he fell asleep.
There is oblivion in sleep.
How I envy him!
I too would like to sleep like that
To find oblivion at least in slumber!
I am searching only for peace.
I would like to be able to forget everything!
Yet every effort is in vain.
Before me I always haveher sweet face.
Peace is ever taken from me.
Why must I suffer so very much?
She, as always speaks to my heart.
Fatal vision, leave me!
You hurt me so deeply! Alas!
