E' la solita storia del pastore…
Saulo Couto
It's the usual story of the shepherd…
Frederico'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 him!
I too would like to sleep like this,
to find oblivion at least in sleep!
I seek peace in my dreams:
I wish I could forget everything.
But every effort is in vain... Before me
I always have her sweet face!
The peace taken away is always from me...
Why must I suffer so much?
Her!... she always appears in my heart!
Fatal vision, leave me!
you hurt me so much!
Alas!
