È La Solita Storia (Lamento Di Federico)

It's the usual story of the shepherd
The poor boy wanted to tell it
And fell asleep
In sleep there is oblivion
How I envy it!

I too would like to sleep like this
In sleep at least find oblivion!
Seeking only peace I go
I wish I could forget everything!
But every effort is in vain
I always have her in front of me
Her sweet face!

Peace taken away is always for me!
Why must I suffer so much?
She, always she, speaks to my heart!
Fatal vision, leave me!
You hurt me so much! Alas!
