Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:
Sortita di Alfio con CoroAlfio, Coro e dette
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!
