Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:
La piattaforma di Castel Sant'Angelo.
A sinistra, una casamatta: vi è collocata una tavola, sulla quale stanno una lampada, un grosso registro e l'occorrente per scrivere: una panca, una sedia. Su di una parete della casamatta un crocifisso: davanti a questo è appesa una lampada. A destra, L'apertura di una piccola scala per la quale si ascende alla piattaforma. Nel fondo il Vaticano e San Pietro.
Notte - Cielo sereno, scintillante di stelle.
Si odono, lontane, le campanelle d'un armento: di mano in mano vanno sempre più affievolendosi.
LA VOCE DI UN PASTORE
Io de' sospiri.
Ve ne rimanno tanti
Pe' quante foje
Ne smoveno li venti.
Tu me disprezzi.
Io me ci accoro,
Lampene d'oro
Me fai morir!
English Libretto or Translation:
The platform of Castel Sant' Angelo
At left, a casemate: there is a lamp, large registry book with writing materials, a bench and a chair. A crucifix hangs on one of the casemate walls with a lamp in front. To the right, the door to a small stairway leading up to the platform. In the distance, the Vatican and the Basilica of St. Peter's.
It is still night, but gradually darkness is dispelled by the grey, uncertain light of the hour before dawn. Church bells toll for matins. The voice of a shepherd passing with his flock can be heard.
VOICE OF SHEPHERD
I give you sighs,
There are as many
As there are leaves
Driven by the wind
You may scorn me,
and my heart is sick.
Oh lamp of gold,
I die for you
