It's God's will, Nicola.
2:09:05
It's God's will, Mara.
2:09:07
We talk to each other
and write to each other
2:09:13
I've become engaged
2:09:19
To the blacksmith's daughter
2:09:27
I've given her my heart
kissing her in the dark
2:09:32
Her father didn't want me
2:09:38
But she smiled at me from afar
2:09:55
When you've finished this wall...
2:09:59
where will you work next?
2:10:02
Wherever there's work.
2:10:04
With winter coming on,
there's little to do.
2:10:08
I may go to Catania or Siracusa.
2:10:11
Well, I'll say good-bye now.
Mother is waiting.
2:10:16
Nicola, remember when you said...
2:10:18
that now that we were rich...
2:10:21
you were too poor to marry me?
2:10:27
See how rich we've become?
2:10:29
We don't even own
our four bare walls...
2:10:33
or a tile off the roof of our house.
2:10:36
I don't care, Mara.
2:10:39
If I could do
what my heart tells me...
2:10:43
I know what I'd do.
2:10:48
Now things have changed.
2:10:52
I can no longer hope to marry.
2:10:58
It's God's will.
