In this final act of La Traviata, Violetta, sick and alone in her apartment, realises she is about to succumb to tuberculosis without having seen her darling Alfredo one last time.
Attendo attendo I've waited and waited
Ne a me giungon mai. Still they haven't come to see me.
O come son mutata. Look how much I've changed.
Ma il dottore a sperar pure m'esorta.... But the doctor said I was to have hope.......
Ah....con tal morbo ogni speranza e morta. Ah....with this disease, all hope is dead.
Addio del passato, bei sogni ridenti Goodbye now to all my happy, laughing past
Le rose del volto gia sono pallenti. The roses of my compexion are now faded.
L'amore d'Alfredo perfino mi manca I don't even have Alfredo's love anymore
Conforto, sostegno dell'anima stanca. Such comfort and sustenance to my tired soul.
Ah...della traviata sorridi al desio Ah...smile on the final wish of the fallen woman
A lei, deh perdona. Tu accoglila, o Dio! Forgive her. Accept her unto you, O God!
Ah, tutto, tutto fini Ah, it's all over now.
Or tutto, tutto fini. Now everything, everything is finished.
