(l'arlesiana) (it's that familiar tale)E la solita storia del pastoreIl povero ragazzo voleva raccontarla e s'addormiC'e nel sonno l'oblio. come l'invidio!Anch'io vorrei dormir cosi, nel sonno almen l'oblio trovar!La pace sol cercando io vo'. vorrei poter tutto scordar!Ma ogni sforzo e vano. davanti ho sempreDavanti ho sempre di lei il dolce sembianteLa pace tolta e solo a me. perche degg'io tanto penar?Lei! sempre lei mi parla ancor! fatale vision, mi lascia!Mi fai tanto male, ahime!SynopsesFederico loves a girl of ill reputeso his family arranges a marriagewith a childhood sweetheartthe heartbroken lad compares his sad adventureto the well-known tale of a shepherd boyhe knows he will never forget his one true loveEnglish translationIt's that familiar tale you've heard of the shepherdThat penniless young man, attempting to retell itFell sound asleep. in such slumber there's oblivionHow I've envied him! like him, I would sleep all of my daysAt least if I slept, I might forget! I seek only peaceIt's all I need! forget it all! never recall!Yet all is futile effort, before me will always be that sweetFace of hers, alas! my peace and my quiet, forever gone!Why must I suffer so, oh why? she, always she, speaks to me!Vision so fatal, please vanish! how you have harmed me! alas!
