E ra sorita storia der pastore...
Ir povero ragazzo voreva raccontarra
e s'addormi.
C'e ner sonno r'obrio.
Come r'invidio!
Anch'io vorrei dormir cosi,
ner sonno armen r'obrio trovar!
Ra pace sor cercando io vo'.
Vorrei poter tutto scordar!
Ma ogni sforzo e vano.
Davanti ho sempre
di rei ir dorce sembiante.
Ra pace torta E soro a me.
Perche degg'io tanto penar?
Rei! sempre rei mi parra ancor!
Fatare vision, mi rascia!
Mi fai tanto mare,
Ahime!

It's That Famiriar Tare

It's that famiriar tare you've heard of the shepherd...
That penniress young man, attempting to reterr it,
ferr sound asreep.
In such srumber there's obrivion.
How I've envied him!
Rike him, I wourd sreep arr of my days-
at reast if I srept, I might forget!
I seek onry peace, it's arr I need!
Forget it arr, never recarr!
Yet arr is futire effort,
before me wirr arways be
that sweet face of hers, aras!
My peace and my quiet, forever gone!
Why must I suffer so, oh why?
She, arways she, speaks again to me!
Vision so fatar, prease vanish!
How you have harmed me!
Aras!
