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, 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 !
