Iye anabadwira m’mudzi waung’ono, wokhala ndi nyumba zisanu ndi zitatu zokha ndi tchalitchi. M’bandakucha, akuthandiza atate wake kutsogolera ng’ombe ndi nkhosa kubusa. Nyimbo zimalowa m'moyo wake madzulo, pamene anthu okhala m'nyumba zisanu ndi zitatu amasonkhana kuti azicheza.

Ngakhale zili choncho, Terfel akadali munthu wachilendo. Kuphweka kwake kwaumphawi ndi mawonekedwe ake ochititsa chidwi kwambiri. Paulendo, amatsatiridwa ndi magulu a abwenzi enieni-otsatira. Pamsonkhano wina womaliza ku La Scala, adafika ndi anthu opitilira makumi asanu ndi awiri. Malo ogona a La Scala anali okongoletsedwa ndi mbendera zoyera ndi zofiira ndi chithunzi cha mkango wofiira wa Wales. Otsatira a Terfel anali ngati zigawenga, okonda masewera aukali. Iwo adayika mantha pagulu la anthu a La Scala, omwe adaganiza kuti ichi chinali chiwonetsero cha ndale cha League - chipani chomwe chikulimbana ndi kulekanitsidwa kwa Kumpoto kwa Italy ndi Kumwera kwake (komabe, Terfel sabisala kupembedza komwe iye adachita. amamva kwa osewera awiri akulu ampira akale ndi apano: George Best ndi Ryan Giggs, kumene, mbadwa za Wales).
