My Moan

From Luciano Pavarotti

Live Recital

Beethoven: In Questa tomba Oscura

WoO 133

In questa tomba oscura

Lasciami riposar;

Quando vivevo, ingrate,

Dovevi a me pensar.

Lascia che I’ ombre ignude

Godansi pace almen,

E non bagnar mie ceneri

D’inutile velen

In questa tomba oscura, ecc


English Translations :

In this dark tomb

Let me rest;

Ungrateful one, you should

Have thought of me alive.

Let naked shadows

Enjoy their peace,

And do not bathe my ashes

With useless venom

In this dark tomb, etc.
