Nell'orror di notte oscura
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Nell'orror di notte oscura,
Quando tace il mondo intier,
Del mio bene in fra le mura
Vola sempre il mio pensier.
E colei che tanto adoro
Forse ad altri il cor donò;
Ciel, per me non v'ha ristoro,
Io d'ambascia morirò.
Quando in terra il giorno imbruna
Il mio spirto apparirà
Ed il raggio della luna
Fosco fosco si vedrà.
D'un amante moribondo,
D'un tradito adorator,
Udirà l'intero mondo
Il lamento del dolor.
E d'amore nella storia
Sarà scritto ognor così:
Maledetta la memoria
Di colei che lo tradì!

Dans l'horreur d'une nuit sombre
Language: French (Français) after the Italian (Italiano)
Dans l'horreur d'une nuit sombre,
Quand le monde entier se tait,
Vers mon amour, à travers les remparts,
Volent toujours mes pensées.
Et vers elle que j'adore tant
Comme peut-être d'autres je donne mon cœur ;
Le ciel pour moi ne fera pas revivre,
Je meurs d'angoisse.
Quand sur terre le jour s'assombrit,
Mon esprit apparaîtra
Et dans le rayon de la lune
Sombre on le verra.
D'un amant moribond,
D'un adorateur trahi,
Le monde entier entendra
La plainte de la douleur.
Et dans l'histoire de l'amour
Il sera écrit à nouveau :
Maudit soit le souvenir
De celle qui l'a trahi !
