"Suzel, buou di"

--- Mascagni: L' Amico Fritz Cherry Duet
Sung by Luciano Pavarotti and Cecilia Bartoli.


Fritz) Suzel, the joyful song of a nightingale woke me.
I mean, I like your singing.

Suzel) Signor Fritz, I sing what I feel in my heart.
I picked these flowers for you.
And I have another surprise.
Spring, Cherries.
They are already ripe.

F) Already bright purple. Sweat and tender.
(She herself is like a fragrant, rosy spring flower!)

S) I'll pick a bunch of them for you.

F) Throw them down, my little nightingale.

S) This fresh fruit still sparkles with the morning frost.

F) There is the tree where the sparrow twitters at dawn.

S) Do you understand what he says?

F) He chirps to say how happy he is.
His little ones eagerly wait for him on the broad branches.
They joke as they play among the white blossom.

S) How well you understand their language!

F) They and the flowers are greeting the first rays of dawn.

Everything is silent. Yet all nature speaks to my heart.
Where else could anyone find such peace!
S) How lovely you are, Springtime!
Sweet April renews blossoms and love.

F) Every flower that opens is enchanting.
The whole world throbs with love.

S) The meadows gleam with all the colors of the rainbow.
And every heart sings praise to the Lord..
