2 "O Lola ch'ai di latti la cammisa"

O Lola, in your milky-white nightgown,

white and red as a cherry,

when you lean out there's a smile on your lips.

Happy the man who first kissed you!

Blood is spilled at your door

but I don't care if that's where I'm killed.

If I die and go to heaven

and find you're not there I'll turn away.

If I die and go to heaven

and find you're not there I'll turn away.

No, tell no untruths.

I just saw you turn down the path.

And at daybreak

you were seen near Lola's door.

Were you spying on me?

No, I promise.

Her husband Alfio

was just telling us.

Is this how you repay my love?

Are you trying to kill me?

Don't say that.

Then leave me alone.

Your pity has no hope of placating my anger.

Are you in love with her, then?

No.

She's much prettier.

Shut up, I'm not.

You love her,

curse you!

Santuzza!

Turiddu!

Has Alfio come by?

I've just come out.

-I don't know.

Perhaps he's still at the blacksmith's.

He won't be long.

Are you

hearing Mass outside?

Santuzza was telling me...

...that today is Easter Sunday

and the Lord sees everything.

Aren't you coming to Mass?

No, only those free from sin can go.

I thank the Lord

and kiss the ground.

You're right to do so, Lola.

Let's go.

There's nothing to keep us here.

Do stay.

Yes, stay.

I have something else to tell you.

And may the Lord aid you.

I'm going-

Ah! Do you know

what you've said?

I meant it, and you deserve it.

For God's sake!

Tear out my heart.

Turiddu, listen.

Go away.

E'en of the church you are seeking to spy?

Ah! do not fly!

Then, at your pleasure!

Ah me! What's going to happen?

Dear Mistress Lola!

let's go away from here!

Have you anything else to say to me?

I?

Nothing

Well then,

I am quite at your service

This moment?

Now.

Master Turiddu,

you have bitten quite firmly,

It seems we understand each other.

Master Alfio,

I know I'm in the wrong.

To you I swear, in the name of heaven,

That like a dog I should be slaughtered.

But if I don't survive

will be abandoned.

Mother!

Mother,

that wine is strong

and today

I've drunk too much of it.

I'm going for some fresh air.

But first I want you to bless me

when I set off for the army.

But

mother,

listen...

If I don't come back...

If I don't come back...

You must be a mother to Santa,

the girl I promised

to lead to the altar.

You must be a mother to Santa,

if I don't come back.

Why speak you thus to me, my loving son?

It's nothing,

the wine has it to me suggested!

Just the wine.

Pray to God for me.

Pray to God for me.

One kiss, mother.

One more kiss...

One more kiss...

Good bye.

If I don't come back

you must be a mother to Santa.

One kiss,

mother.

Good bye.

Turiddu,

what do you mean?

Turiddu! Turiddu! Ah!

Santuzza!

O dearest mother!

They have murdered Master Turiddu!
