Original lyrics
Lamento di Frederico from opera L'arlesiana
E' la solita storia del pastore
ll povero ragazzo
voleva raccontaria, e s'addormi
C'e nel sonno l'oblio.
Come l'invidio
Anch'io vorrei dormir cosi,
nel sonno almeno l'oblio trovar
La pace sot cercando io vo
vorrei poter tutto scordar.
Ma ogni sforzo e vano Davanti
ho sempre di lei dolce sembiante
La pace tolta e sempre a me
Perche degg'io tanto penar?
Lei....sempremi paria at cor.
Fatale vision, mi lascia
mi fai tanto male
Ahime
Translation
Lament of Frederic
It's the usual story of the shepherd ...
The poor boy wanted to say it,
but fell asleep.
In sleep there is oblivion.
How I envy him!
If only I could find sleep like this -
to find, at least, oblivion in my sleep!
I only want to find peace:
if only I could forget everything.
But all my struggle is in vain..
I still see her sweet face before me!
And peace has left me for ever...
why do I have to suffer so much pain?
She always speaks straight to my heart!
Oh fatal vision, leave me alone!
You wound me so much!
Oh poor me!

Thank you....my favorite aria, sing it all the time, might be helpful if I knew what it meant.
