La follaPerché tarda la luna? Faccia pallida!
Mostrati in cielo! Presto, vieni!
Spunta! O testa mozza! O squallida!
Vieni! Spunta! Mostrati in cielo!
O testa mozza! O esangue!
O esangue, o squallida!
O taciturna! O amante, smunta dei morti!
O taciturna, mostrati in cielo!
Come aspettano, o taciturna,
il tuo funereo, lume i cimiteri!
O esangue, squallida! O testa mozza!
Ecco laggiù un barlume!
Vieni, presto, spunta! O testa mozza, spunta!
Vieni! O testa mozza, vieni!
Mostrati, o faccia pallida!
O faccia pallida! O esangue, pallida!
Vieni, amante smunta dei morti!
O amante, smunta dei morti! Vieni, vieni, spunta!
Ecco laggiù un barlume, dilaga in cielo,
la sua luce smorta!
Tutti
Pu-Tin-Pao! La luna è smorta!
English Libretto or Translation:
The crowdWhy late the moon? Face pale!
Show yourself in the sky! Soon, come!
Tick! Or head off! Or shabby!
Come! Tick! Show yourself in the sky!
Or head off! O blood!
O bloodless, or squalid!
Or taciturn! O lover, dead of the dead!
Or taciturn, shown in heaven!
As they wait, or taciturn,
your funeral, light the cemeteries!
O bloodless, squalid! Or head off!
Here is a glimpse!
Come, soon, check! O head cut off, check!
Come! O head off, come!
Show yourself, or face pale!
Or pale face! O bloodless, pale!
Come, lover of the dead!
O lover, dead of the dead! Come, come, check!
Here there is a glimmer, it spreads in the sky,
its dull light!
All
Pu-Tin-Pao! The moon is dull!
