Ebben Ne Andro Lontana
Ebben! Ne andrò lontana, Wally's aria from La Wally
Ebben! Ne andrò lontana Ah well then! I shall go far away
Come va l'eco pia campana, Like the echo of the pious church-bell goes away,
Lí fra la neve bianca; There somewhere in the white snow;
Lí fra le nubi d'ôr; There amongst the clouds of gold,
Laddóve la speranza, la speranza There where hope, hope
íˆ rimpianto, è rimpianto, è dolor! Is regret, is regret, is sorrow!
O della madre mia casa gioconda O from my mother's cheerful house
La Wally ne andrí da te, da te! La Wally is about to go away from you, from you!
Lontana assai, e forse a te, Quite far away, and perhaps to you,
E forse a te, non farí mai pií¹ ritorno, And perhaps to you, will never more return,
Nè pií¹ la rivedrai! Nor ever more see you again!
Mai pií¹, mai pií¹! Never again, never again!
Ne andrò sola e lontana, I will go away alone and far,
Lí , fra la neve bianca, 'andrò, There, somewhere in the white snow, I shall go,
N'andrò sola e lontana I will go away alone and far
E fra le nubi d'ôr! And amongst the clouds of gold!
Ebben! Ne andrò lontana Ah well then! I shall go far away
Come va l'eco pia campana, Just like the echo of the pious church-bell goes away,
Lí fra la neve bianca; There somewhere in the white snow;
Lí fra le nubi d'ôr; There amongst the clouds of gold,
Laddóve la speranza, la speranza There where hope, hope
íˆ rimpianto, è rimpianto, è dolor! Is regret, is regret, is sorrow!
O della madre mia casa gioconda O from my mother's cheerful house
La Wally ne andrí da te, da te! La Wally is about to go away from you, from you!
Lontana assai, e forse a te, Quite far away, and perhaps to you,
E forse a te, non farí mai pií¹ ritorno, And perhaps to you, will never more return,
Nè pií¹ la rivedrai! Nor ever more see you again!
Mai pií¹, mai pií¹! Never again, never again!
Ne andrò sola e lontana, I shall go away alone and far,
Come l'eco della pia campana, Like the echo of the pious church-bell goes away,
Lí , fra la neve bianca, 'andrò, There, somewhere in the white snow, I shall go,
N'andrò sola e lontana I'll go away alone and far
E fra le nubi d'ôr! And amongst the clouds of gold!
