Lento cavalca per valle ombrose un giovinciel! "Vado tra dolci braccia amorose, O vado invece nel cupo avel?" L'eco risponde: "Nel cupo avel!" Il suo cammino seguita mesto il giovinciel! "Nell'avel dunque vado sì presto, or ben? Che monta? La pace è in quel!" L'eco risponde: "La pace è in quel!" Cadon dall'occhio stille segrete al giovinciel! "Ah! Se il solo avello mi dà quete, Lieto vi scendo, dolce è l'avel!" L'eco risponde: "dolce è l'avel!"

A young man rides his horse among shadowy valleys! "I go to sweet loving arms, Or should I go instead into the dark tomb?" The echo responds: "Into the dark tomb!" The young man sadly continues his path! "Should I go into the tomb so early? Why keep riding? Peace is in that!" The echo responds: "Peace is in that!" Secret tears fall from the young man's eyes! "Ah! If only the tomb gives me quiet, Happily I descend, sweet is the tomb!" The echo responds: "Sweet is the tomb!"
