Lamento de Federico
Luciano Pavarotti
Federico's Lament
It's the usual story of the shepherd ...
The poor boy
wanted to tell it and fell asleep.
There is oblivion in sleep.
How I envy it!
I too would like to sleep like this,
to find oblivion at least in sleep!
Seeking peace in vain,
I wish I could forget everything.
But every effort is in vain ...
I always have her sweet face in front of me!
The peace taken away is always with me ...
Why do I have to suffer so much?
Her! ... she always seems to be there!
Fatal vision, you leave me! You hurt me so much!
Alas!
