Pace, Pace Mio Dio

Peace, peace, my God!
Cruel misfortune
Constrains me, alas, to languish
As on the first day
For so many years
Deep is my suffering
I loved him, it's true!
But with beauty and worth
God adorned him so much
That I still love him
And from my heart
I will know how to remove his image
Fatality! Fatality! Fatality!
A crime has separated us down here!
Alvaro, I love you
And in heaven it is written
I will never see you again!
Oh God, God, let me die
For only death can give me peace
In vain does this soul hope for peace here
In the grip of such sorrow
Miserable bread, come to prolong me
The desolate life, But who arrives?
Who dares to profane the sacred place?
Curse! Curse! Curse!
