Romanza e Scena
Lucia e Santuzza

LUCIA
Perché m'hai fatto
Segno di tacere?

SANTUZZA
Voi lo sapete, o mamma,
Prima d'andar soldato,
Turiddu aveva a Lola
Eterna fè giurato.
Tornò, la seppe sposa;
E con un nuovo amore
Volle spegner la fiamma
Che gli bruciava il core:
M'amò, l'amai.
Quell'invidia d'ogni delizia mia,
Del suo sposo dimentica,
Arse di gelosia...
Me l'ha rapito...
Priva dell'onor mio rimango:
Lola e Turiddu s'amano,
Io piango, io piango!

LUCIA
Miseri noi,
Che cosa vieni a dirmi
In questo santo giorno?

SANTUZZA
Io son dannata.
Andate o mamma,
Ad implorare Iddio,
E pregate per me.
Verrà Turiddu,
Vo' supplicarlo
Un'altra volta ancora!

LUCIA
avvicinandosi alla chiesa
Aiutatela voi,
Santa Maria!
Esce.

English Libretto or Translation:

All enter the church except Santuzza and Lucia.


Romance and Scene
Lucia and Santuzza

LUCIA
Why did you signal me
To be silent?

SANTUZZA
O mother, you know
That before he went for a soldier
Turiddu had sworn
Eternal faith to Lola.
On his return, he found her married,
And sought with a new love
To quell the flame
Which burned in his heart:
He loved me, I loved him.
But she, envious of my only delight
And forgetful of her husband,
Burned with jealousy …
She stole him from me …
And I am left disgraced;
Lola and Turiddu are lovers,
And I am left to weep.

LUCIA
Lord have mercy!
What is this you've come to tell me
On this holy day?

SANTUZZA
l am condemned!
O mother, go
And pray to God
And pray for me too!
When Turiddu comes,
I will plead with him
Once again.

LUCIA
going towards the church
Holy Mary,
Have mercy upon her!
