L'incontro 
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  SPA
Non mi ricordo più 
quando noi c'incontrammo 
la prima volta 
ma fu certo una lontana sera 
tutta soffusa di pallide tristezze 
lungo un benigno mar! 
A noi giungevano di lontano suoni 
di campane e di greggi 
ed una pace strana ci veniva dal mare. 
Questo rammento! 
Cosa dicemmo quel giorno, 
Lo rammentate? 
Io non ricordo più. 
Ma che importa? 
Oggi mi fiorisce in cuore 
la dolcezza appassita di quell'ora lontana. 
E m'è dolce stringere nella mia 
la vostra mano bianca 
e parlarvi d'amor, 
anch'oggi vengono di lontano suoni 
di campane e di greggi 
e anch'oggi il mar come allora 
ci sorride lontano. 
Ma oggi forse m'amate un poco, 
non sorridete più. 
Ah! La vostra mano trema. 
Se oggi le belle labbra voi mi darete 
non scorderemo più questa dolce 
ora d'amor!
