Addio Alla Madre

Turiddu
Mother..
Mother,
That wine is generous, and certainly
Today too many glasses
I have gulped down ...
I'm going outside.
But first I want
You to bless me
Like that day
When I left as a soldier.
And then ... mother ... listen ...
If I ... didn't come back ...
You will have to act
As a mother to Santa,
Whom I had sworn
To lead to the altar.

Lucia
Why do you speak like this, my son?

Turiddu
Oh! nothing!
It's the wine that suggested it to me!
Pray to God for me!
Pray to God for me!
A kiss, mother ...
Another kiss ... goodbye!
