Vedi tu sull’onda<br />

Una fragil barchetta?<br />

Salvatore - Masaniello!...<br />

Il tuo spirto raccogli... Io l’ho perduta...<br />

Non rivedrò mai più<br />

L’angiol che tanto amai!...<br />

11 Masaniello - (come in preda ad una visione)<br />

Là... su quel fragil legno...<br />

Assiso è Masaniel...<br />

Egli dell’onde ha il regno...<br />

Ed è sua tenda il ciel...<br />

Ma il turbine si desta...<br />

Rugge fremendo il mar...<br />

E in mezzo alla tempesta<br />

Negro fantasma appar...<br />

Salvatore - Oh cielo! Ei non m’ascolta...<br />

Non vede il mio dolor...<br />

L’ultima speme è tolta<br />

Al mio perduto cor!<br />

Masaniello - (con crescente dolore)<br />

Perché, o fantasima,<br />

Mi incalzi a terra?...<br />

E’ atroce... orribile...<br />

Dell’uom la guerra...<br />

Spettri, placatevi...<br />

Allontanatevi...<br />

O tutto un popolo<br />

Morrà con me...<br />

Salvatore - (con accento desolato)<br />

Mi ascolta... guardami!...<br />

Vedi il mio pianto...<br />

Vedi lo strazio<br />

D’un core affranto...<br />

Morto all’amore...<br />

Morto alla fe’...<br />

Masaniello - Ebben! Si muoia!...<br />

Catene e boia,<br />

Can you see a small boat<br />

over the sea?<br />

Salvatore - Masaniello!...<br />

Come to your senses... I’ve lost her...<br />

I will never see again<br />

the heavenly creature I love so much...<br />

11 Masaniello - (as if he were having a vision)<br />

There... in that fragile boat...<br />

sits Masaniello...<br />

He rules the waves...<br />

and his ceiling is the sky...<br />

But the wind picks up...<br />

the sea gets rough...<br />

And in the middle of the storm<br />

a dark ghost appears...<br />

Salvatore - Oh heaven! He does not hear me...<br />

He does not see my pain...<br />

My poor heart<br />

has lost all hope!<br />

Masaniello - (with growing sorrow)<br />

Why, o ghost,<br />

do you pursue me?...<br />

Men’s war<br />

is brutal... horrible...<br />

Ghosts, be appeased...<br />

go away...<br />

or a whole people<br />

will die with me...<br />

Salvatore - (dejectedly)<br />

Listen to me... look at me!...<br />

See my tears...<br />

See the affliction<br />

of my broken heart...<br />

that has no more love...<br />

that has no more hope...<br />

Masaniello - Well then! Let us die!...<br />

Let the King prepare
