My life flows like a
flooded river.
Me with him every day I’ll savour.
Now I’m alone.
Hurry time flee!
Fetch me my love!
And make this anguish disappear!
[Chorus]
Don’t wait, fetch him here!
And make this anguish disappear!
And make this anguish disappear!
Sea of Laughter and Skies of Gold,
there with him every day I’ll live.
When he’s far away,
time don’t run slow!
Fetch me my love!
And make this anguish disappear!
(Chorus)
Please make...
Oh make this anguish disappear!

I have been a fan of Sarah's for decades. I think this is by far her best song. It suits her voice perfectly. Her bel canto technique is used optimally throughout the piece. And the piece itself is one of those classic pieces - just like Pachelbel's Canon - that can be sung at either a funeral or a wedding. Timeless!

I agree with you. 2 of her Songs I cannot live without are. Nella Fantasia and Atessa . bel canto ? please its meaning

I've adored Sarah for ages and been obsessed with Cavalleria Rusticana since my childhood (over 50 years ☺️) I play Intermezzo several times every day. A week ago I discovered a Norwegian mezzo soprano Astrid Nordstad in Ave Maria of Cavalleria's Intermezzo. Really worth listening to 🥰 She's fantastic!👍👏
