Otello - Mi madre aveva una povera ancella, #10/12 - Kiri Te Kanawa

Kiri Te Kanawa sings "The Willow Song".

---
My mother had a poor maidservant,
beautiful and in love;
Her name was Barbara. She loved a man who later abandoned her; she used to sing a song: "The Willow Song."

(to Emilia, in a speaking voice)
Loosen my hair:

This evening my memory is filled
With that dirge:
"She wept, singing,
On the lonely heath,
The sad girl wept.
O Willow! Willow! Willow!
She sat, hanging
Her head on her breast!
O Willow! Willow! Willow!
Let us sing! the funereal willow
Shall be my garland."

Hurry; Othello is coming shortly.

"The brooks flowed among the
flowering fields,
That broken heart moaned,
And her heart released from her eyelids
The bitter wave of tears.
O Willow! Willow! Willow!
