L'ultimo ricordo
 (Sung text for setting by G. Rossini)

Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  ENG SPA
Odi di un uom, che muore,
Odi l' estremo suon,
Questo appassito fiore
Ti lascio, Elvira, in don.

Quanto prezioso ei sia
Tu lo conosci appien;
Dal dì che fosti mia
A te l' involai dal sen.

Simbolo allor di affetto,
Or pegno di dolor;
Torni a posarti in petto
Questo appassito fior;

E avrai nel cor scolpito,
Se crudo il cor non è,
Come ti fu rapito,
Come fu reso a te.
