CHARACTERS.
Chorus of peasants and villagers.—Chorus behind the scenes.
Turiddu, a young villager, is the son ofLucia, and the lover ofLola, (who is the wife ofAlfio; having married the latter duringTuriddu'sprolonged absence in military service).Turidduwins the affections ofSantuzza, whom he wrongs; while, in the meantime, he is intimate withLola. On Easter morning, (the opening of the opera),Alfiois incidentally informed, bySantuzza, of his wife's unfaithful actions. He challengesTuriddu(biting the ear, as was the rustic Sicilian custom).Turiddu, though regretting his past evil course, accepts the challenge and is killed byAlfio.

In mezzo al campo tra le spiche d'oroGiunge il rumore delle vostre spole,Noi stanchi riposando dal lavoroA voi pensiamo, o belle occhidisole.O belle occhidisole, a voi corriamo,Come vola l'augelo—al suo richiamo.(Gli uomini entrano in iscena.)

Romanza.
Lucia.(To Santuzza.)And why with signals would you gain my silence?Santuzza.Now shall you know, kind mother:Ere he went forth as a soldier,Turiddu pledged his love to Lola,All his faithfulness renewingBut; ah! homeward returning,Married he found his Lola!And, her falsity shaming—All the old love subduing—Lovedme!And I lovedhim!With jealousy, hatefully, and with madness,Scorning wifely duty, envious of my gladness,Lola, in malice shameful, regains Turiddu!Fate disgraceful o'ertakes me,My own Turiddu forsakes me!Lola and he in joy remain,Having each other's love again!Ah me! alone I weep, I weep!Lucia.Grief is upon us!Such dire and woeful tidings to hear this holy morning.Santuzza.I am accursed! I am accursed!Good mother, go pray for me unto the Saviour!Thou'lt beseech Him for me!I'll seek Turiddu, and pray to himThat he again may love me!Lucia.Holy Mary be with thee—the blessed Mary!
(Lucia enters the church)
Lucia.Perchè m'hai fatto segno di tacere?Santuzza.Voi lo sapete, o mamma, prima d'andar soldatoTuriddu aveva a Lola eterna fè giurato.Tornò, la seppe sposa; e con un nuovo amoreVolle spegner la fiamma che gli bruciava il coreM'amò, l'amai, l'amai, ah!Quell' invida d'ogni delizia mia,Del suo sposo dimentica, arse di gelosia.Me l'ha rapito. Priva dell' onor mio,Dell' onor mio rimango:Lola e Turiddu s'amano, io piango!Lucia.Miseri noi, che cosa vieni a dirmiIn questo santo giorno?Santuzza.Io son dannata.Andate, o mamma, ad implorare Iddio,E pregate per me. Verrà Turiddu,Vo' supplicarlo un' altra voltra ancora!Lucia.Ajutatela voi, Santa Maria!
(Lucia entra in chiesa.)
Duet. Santuzza and Turiddu.
Turiddu.
(Entering.)Thou here, Santuzza!
Santuzza.Here I await thee.
Turiddu.Attending not the service of Easter?
Santuzza.Not now! Thee would I speak with.
Turiddu.I seek my mother.
Santuzza.Thee would I speak with!
Turiddu.Not here, not here!
Santuzza.From whence dost thou come?
Turiddu.Why dost thou ask me?—From Francofonte.
Santuzza.Ah, that is false!
Turiddu.Santuzza, believe me!
Santuzza.No! thou art lying!Over yon path I beheld thee approach:And thou wert seen to-day returning homewardFrom the dwelling of Lola!
Turiddu.Ah! thou wert spying!
Santuzza.No, I do swear it!Her husband, Alfio, saw theeHere within the town, and told it me!
Turiddu.So thou rewardest the love I gave thee,What though he slay me!
Santuzza.Ah! Tell me not of murder!
Turiddu.Leave me, I tell thee! leave me!The rage within me burning—My righteous wrath, thou canst not assuage!
Santuzza.Then, thou oost love her!More fair than I is Lola!False friend! Oh, curses on her!
Turiddu.Santuzza!
Santuzza.She—vilest woman, steals the love that should be mine!
Turiddu.Heed thou!I am no slave to thy envyScornfully showing, jealously showing.
Santuzza.Insult and punishment I am unheeding!Yet do I love thee,Even though anguish my heart is rending,E'en though in sorrow my life is ending.
Turiddu.
(Entrando.)Tu qui Santuzza?
Santuzza.Qui t'aspettavo.
Turiddu.È Pasqua in chiesa non vai?
Santuzza.Non vo. Debbo parlarti.
Turiddu.Mamma cercavo.
Santuzza.Debbo parlarti.
Turiddu.Qui no! qui no!
Santuzza.(Parlato.)Dove sei stato?
Turiddu.(Parlato.)Che vuoi tu dire? A Francofonte.
Santuzza.No, non è ver.
Turiddu.Santuzza credimi.
Santuzza.No, non mentireTi vidi volgere giù dal sentir.E stamattina all' alba t'hannoScorto presso l'uscio di Lola.
Turiddu.Ah! mi hai spiato!
Santuzza.No! te lo giuro, a noi l'ha raccontatoCampar Alfio il marito poco fa.
Turiddu.Così ricambi l'amor che ti porto?Vuoi che m'uccida?
Santuzza.Oh! questo non lo dire.
Turiddu.Lasciami dunque, lasciami invantenti sopireIl giusto sdegno colla tua pietà.
Santuzza.Tu l'ami dunque?
Turiddu.No!
Santuzza.Assai più bella è Lola!
Turiddu.Taci, non l'amo.
Santuzza.L'ami, l'ami, Oh! maledetto!
Turiddu.Santuzza!
Santuzza.Quella cattiva femmina ti tolse a me!
Turiddu.Bada, Santuzza, schiavo non sonoDi questa vana tua gelosia.
Santuzza.(Con angoscia.)Battimi, insultami, t'amo e perdonoMa è troppo forte l'angoscia mia.(Troncando nel sentire avvicinarsi Lola.)
Lola's Ditty.
Lola.(Behind scenes.)Bright flower, so radiant!Angelic thousands stand arrayed in heaven,Yet none so fair as thou hath yet been given!(Enters. Pauses suddenly.)Oh! Turiddu, hast thou seen Alfio?
Turiddu.I came but this moment: I have not.
Lola.Then at the forge perchance he awaiteth.Here I must not linger.And thou?Is't here in public thou art praying?
Turiddu.(Confusedly.)Santuzza here was telling—
Santuzza.I was saying this is Easter!(Meaningly.)And the Lord all things beholdeth!
Lola.(To Santuzza.)Thou wilt not go to the service?
Santuzza.No, no! None shall attend but thoseWho know they are not guilty!
Lola.(Vehemently.)In the grace of the SaviourI bow before thee!
Santuzza.(Bitterly.)O, well thou speakest!—Lola!
Turiddu.(Embarrassed.)(To Lola.)Away then! Come, Lola;Here there is naught to hold us.
Lola.(Ironically.)Oh, stay thou withher!
Santuzza.(To Turiddu.)Yes, stay thou!(Firmly.)I have something yet to tell thee:Lola.(Mockingly.)May the Saviour assist thee!(Going.)So, I will leave thee.(Enters the church.)
Lola.(Dentra alla scena.)Fior di giaggioloGli angeli belli stanoA mille in cieloMa belli come luiCe n'è uno solo.(Entra in iscena e s'interrompe.)Oh! Turiddu, e passato Alfio?
Turiddu.Son giunto ora in piazza non so.
Lola.Forse è rimasto dal maniscalco ma non può tardare!E voi sentite le funzioni in piazza?
Turiddu.(Confuso affret.)Santuzza mi narrava—
Santuzza.Gli dicevo che oggi è PasquaE il Signor vede ogni cosa.
Lola.Non venite alla messa?
Santuzza.(Subito.)Io no, ci deve andar chi sa(Con intenzione.)Di non aver peccato!
Lola.(Con forza.)Io ringrazio il Signore, e bacio in terra!
Santuzza.(Esprimendosi.)Oh! fate bene, fate bene,(Con amarezza.)Lola!
Turiddu.(A Lola.)(Impacciato.)Andiamo, andiamo, Oni non abbiani che fare.
Lola.(A Turiddu.)Oh!(Con ironia.)Rimanete.
Santuzza.(A Turiddu con fermezza.)Sì, resta, resta,Ho da parlarti ancora.
Lola.(Sempre ironica.)E v'assista il Signore,(Con caricatura.)Io me ne vado.(Entra in chiesa.)
Continuation of the Duet.
Turiddu.(To Sant.)Ah! how foolish! naught availing!
Santuzza.(Coldly.)I have spoken; 'tis well—'tis the truth.
Turiddu.(Threateningly.)Ah! by heaven!
Santuzza.My heart is breaking!
Turiddu.(Approaching her.)No!
Santuzza.(Warding him away.)Turiddu, ah! hear me!
Turiddu.Go!(Turns from her.)
Santuzza.(Threateningly.)False! False!
Turiddu.(With increased rage.)Thus I reward thee in my anger.(Throws her down, and hastens into the church.)
Santuzza.(In the height of fury.)Accurs'd! accurs'd at Easter, thou false one.(Falls, despairingly.)
Turiddu.(Con ironia.)Ah! lo vedi, che hai tu detto?
Santuzza.(Fredda.)L'hai voluto e ben ti sta!
Turiddu.(S'avventa.)Ah! Per Dio!
Santuzza.Squarciami il petto.
Turiddu.(S'avvia.)No!
Santuzza.(Trattenendolo.)Turiddu, ascolta!
Turiddu.Va!
Santuzza.(Minacciosa.)Bada!
Turiddu.(Con moltissima forza.)Dell'ira tua non mi curo!(La getta a terra e fugge in chiesa.)
Santuzza.(Nel colmo dell'ira.)A te la mala Pasqua, spergiuro!(Cade affranta ed angosciata.)
