LYRICS: Pace, pace, mio Dio! Cruda sventura M'astringe, ahimé, a languir; Come il dì primo Da tant'anni dura Profondo il mio soffrir. L'amai, gli è ver! Ma di beltà e valore Cotanto Iddio l'ornò. Che l'amo ancor. Né togliermi dal core L'immagin sua saprò. Fatalità! Fatalità! Fatalità! Un delitto disgiunti n'ha quaggiù! Alvaro, io t'amo. E su nel cielo è scritto: Non ti vedrò mai più! Oh Dio, Dio, fa ch'io muoia; Che la calma può darmi morte sol. Invan la pace qui sperò quest'alma In preda a tanto duol. Misero pane, a prolungarmi vieni La sconsolata vita … Ma chi giunge? Chi profanare ardisce il sacro loco? Maledizione! Maledizione! Maledizione! TRANSLATION: Peace, peace, O God! She comes down. Cruel misfortune compels me, alas, to languish; my suffering has lasted for so many years, as profound as on the first day. Peace, peace, O God! I loved him, it is true! But God had blessed him with such beauty and courage that I love him still, and cannot efface his image from my heart. Fatal destiny! A crime has divided us down here! Alvaro, I love you and in heaven above it is written that I shall never see you again! O God, God, let me die, for only death can bring me peace. In vain this soul of mine here sought peace, a prey to so much woe. Wretched bread, you come to prolong my inconsolable life. - But who comes here, daring to profane this sacred retreat? A curse! A curse! |
