Da quel di che lei perduta

English Libretto or Translation:

PERCY:
What should I fear?
From that day in which I lost her
I went in desperation, into exile,
from that day when I crossed the sea,
my death began
Every ray of light was changed for me
I separated myself from the living,
every land on which I came to rest
seemed a tomb to me.

ROCHEFORT:
And you’ve come
to make your condition worse
close to her?

PERCY:
Without mind, without heart,
blindly I follow my destiny.
It's just that sometimes,
in my fiercest pain
the certainty smiles into my thoughts
that fortune
will vindicate my sufferings.

(the sound of the hunt is heard)

ROCHEFORT:
The hunt is assembling…
Be quiet: someone could hear you.

Scene 7
Troops of huntsmen enter from every side: all is movement at the back of the stage, pages, stable hands, men armed with pikes, etc

CHORUS:
Look out! the pages, the stable hands
are running around…
the greyhounds are ready
saddle the chargers…
more eagerly than usual
the King rides out today.

PERCY:
And Anna also!…

ROCHEFORT:
Calm down.
Perhaps she is not with him
