Large Small Description

Carlo Bergonzi (born 13 July 1924) is an Italian operatic tenor. Although he performed and recorded some bel canto and verismo roles, he is above all associated with the operas of Giuseppe Verdi, including a large number of the composer's lesser-known works that he helped revive. Essentially a lyric tenor with spinto capabilities, Bergonzi was greatly admired during the peak of his career for his beautiful diction, smooth legato, warm timbre and elegant phrasing. Above all he was acclaimed for his attention to the style required in Verdi's operas...

Lyrics & English Translation

Tombs of my fathers,
Last son of an unhappy race,
Receive me,
I implore you,
My angers brief fire has been quenched...
I will fall on my sword.
For me life is a horrible burden.
The whole universe is a burden without Lucia.
Yet the castle gleams with torches...
The night was too short for revels...
While I pine away in hopeless tears,
You laugh and gloat by your happy consort's side.
You amide joys, I near death!
Soon this neglected tomb will give me refuge.
A compassionate tear will not fall upon it...
Alas, for wretched me...
Not for me the peace of death...
You too forget this miserable tomb stone.
This despised marble tomb stone!
Never visit it!
Oh cruel one!
Respect at least the ashes of him who dies for you!
Never visit it!
Forget it exists!
Respect at least the one who dies for you...

You who have spread your wings to Heaven,
oh, my beautiful soul in love,
turn towards me appeased,
let your true lover ascend with you.
Oh! If the anger of mortals
was so cruel with us,
if we were divided on earth,
may we be united in Heaven.

Please Enjoy!

I send my kind and warm regards,

SCENA VI
Le Tombe dei Ravenswood

EDGARDO
Tombe degli avi miei, l' ultimo avanzo
D' una stirpe infelice
Deh'! raccogliete voi. - Cessò dell' ira
Il breve foco ... sul nemico acciaro
Abbandonar mi vo'. Per me la vita
E' orrendo peso! ... l'universo intero
E' un deserto per me senza Lucia! ...
Di liete faci ancora
Splende il castello! Ah! scarsa
Fu la notte al tripudio! Ingrata donna!
Mentr' io mi struggo in disperato pianto
Tu ridi, esulti accanto
Al felice consorte!
Tu delle gioje in seno, io ... della morte!
Frà poco a me ricovero
Darà negletto avello ...
Una pietosa lagrima
Non scorrerà sù quello!
Fin degli estinti, ahi misero!
Manca il conforto a me!
Tù pur, tù pur dimentica
Quel marmo dispregiato.
Mai non passarvi, o barbara,
Del tuo consorte a lato ...
Rispetta almen le ceneri
Di chi morià per tè.

Scene 2

Cemetery of Ravenswood Castle
(Tombs of the Ravenswood family. It is night

EDGARDO
Tombs of my fathers,
last son of an unhappy race,
receive me, I implore you. My anger's
brief fire is quenched...I will fall on
my foe's sword. For me, life
is a horrible burden! The whole universe
is a desert for me without Lucia!
Yet the castle
gleams with torches...Ah, the night
was too short for the revels! Heartless jade!
While I pine away in hopeless tears,
you laugh and gloat
by your happy consort's side!
You amid joys, I near to death!
Soon this neglected tomb
will give me refuge.
A compassionate tear
will not fall upon it...ah!
Alas, for wretched me not even
the solace of the dead.
You too, forget
that despised marble tombstone!
Never visit it, o cruel one,
by your husband's side.
Ah, respect at least the ashes
of him who dies for you,
etc.
Never visit it,
forget it exists,
respect at least the one who died for you,
etc.

Oh, cruel one! Respect,
etc.

(A train of mourners comes from Lammermoor Castle.)
