lyrics

La protagonista si chiama Ginevra; il protagonista si chiama Romeo Daddi. Il marito di Ginevra si chiama Giorgio Vanzi. La moglie del Conte Daddi si chiama Donna Bice. Il quinto personaggio, trascurabile, è un marchese Nicola Respi, innamorata senza fortuna di Donna Bice. L'originalità del dramma consiste in questo, che è un dramma d'amore, ma proprio perché Ginevra è innamorata di suo marito, e Romeo Daddi di sua moglie. Sembra strano, ma è naturalissimo: il dramma è proprio qui, in questi due amori legittimi, tra cui s'è cacciata di mezzo, terribile antagonista, la realtà del sogno. "Non si sa come"!

...

The female protagonist’s name is Ginevra; the male protagonist’s name is Romeo Daddi. The name of Ginevra’s husband is Giorgio Vanzi. The wife of Count Daddi is called Donna Bice. The fifth character, negligible, is a certain Marquis Nicola Respi, hopelessly in love with Donna Bice. The originality of the drama consists in the fact that it is a love drama—-exactly because Ginevra is in love with her husband, and Romeo Daddi with his wife. It seems strange, but it is very natural: the drama is exactly there, in these two legitimate loves, in the middle of which the reality of a dream has entered as a terrible antagonist. "No one knows how."
