Cavalleria Rusticana “Voi lo sapete, o mamma”
O mother, you know
that before he became a soldier
Turiddu had sworn
eternal faith to Lola.
On his return, he found her married,
and he 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 delight,
forgetting her husband,
burned with jealousy …
she stole him from me …
I am left disgraced;
Lola and Turiddu are lovers,
and I am left to weep.
