Lyrics and translation Maria Callas - Voi lo sapete, o mamma

Voi lo sapete, o mamma

Voi lo sapete, o mamma
Prima d'andar soldato
Turiddu aveva a Lola
Eterna fè giurato
Aveva a Lola eterna fè giurato

Tornò, la seppe sposa
E con un nuovo amore
Volle spegner la fiamma
Che gli bruciava il core

M'amò, l'amai
L'amai, ah, l'amai

Quell'invida d'ogni delizia mia
Del suo sposo dimentica
Arse di gelosia
Arse di gelosia
Me l'ha rapito
Me l'ha rapito

Priva dell'onor mio, dell'onor mio rimango
Lola e Turiddu s'amano
Lola e Turiddu s'amano
Io piango, io piango, io piango!

(Miseri noi)
(Che cosa vieni a dirmi)
(In questo santo giorno?)

Io son dannata
Io son dannata

Voi lo sapete, o mamma

You know, mother
Before I went to become a soldier
Turiddu was with Lola
He promised her eternal faith
He promised Lola eternal faith

He came back, he found her married
And with a new love
He tried to put out the flame
That burned his heart

He loved me, I loved him
I loved him, oh, I loved him

That jealous woman of my every delight
Forgot her husband
And burned with jealousy
She burned with jealousy
She took him away from me
She took him away from me

I have lost my honor, my honor is gone
Lola and Turiddu love each other
Lola and Turiddu love each other
I cry, I cry, I cry!

(Wretched us)
(What have you come to tell me)
(On this holy day?)

I am damned
I am damned
