È La Solita Storia (Lamento Di Federico)
Luciano Pavarotti
The Usual Story (Federico's Lament)
It's the usual story of the shepherd
The poor boy wanted to tell it
And fell asleep
In sleep there is oblivion
How I envy it!
I too would like to sleep like this
In sleep at least find oblivion!
Seeking only peace I go
I wish I could forget everything!
But every effort is in vain
I always have her in front of me
Her sweet face!
Peace taken away is always for me!
Why must I suffer so much?
She, always she, speaks to my heart!
Fatal vision, leave me!
You hurt me so much! Alas!
