ALFIO Il cavallo scalpita, I sonagli squillano, Schiocca la frusta. E va! Soffi il vento gelido, Cada l'acqua o nevichi, A me che cosa fa?
CORO O che bel mestiere Fare il carrettiere Andar di qua e di là!
ALFIO M'aspetta a casa Lola Che m'ama e mi consola, Ch'è tutta fedeltà. Il cavallo scalpiti, I sonagli squillino, E Pasqua, ed io son qua!
English Libretto or Translation:
Scene with Alfio and Chorus Alfio, Chorus and the above
ALFIO The horses' hooves thunder, The harness bells jingle, The whip cracks. Get along! Let the wind blow cold, Rain or snow fall, What care I?
CHORUS O a carter's life Is a fine life, Going from place to place!
ALFIO The whip cracks! At home, awaiting me, Is Lola, who loves me and comforts me And is ever true. The horses' hooves thunder, The harness bells jingle, It's Easter, and here I am!
CHORUS O a carter's life, etc.
ALFIO Get along! The whip cracks! Here I am! O a carter's life, etc. It's Easter, and here I am!
