by Riccardo Mazzola (1892 - 1922)

Chitarrata abruzzese
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  ENG JPN
Ho detto ai fiori al vento ed alla luna:
  Stanotte io canterò la serenata:
  l'eco sospirerà per la laguna
  fin che l'avrò destata!

Ed or ch'è notte la luna s'asconde
  è notte, e passa l'aquilone;
  pupille verdemare e trecce bionde
  io più non canterò quella canzone!

Ho detto al sogno mio fatto di luce:
  Stanotte la terrò dentro le braccia:
  ella verrà, l'incanto la conduce
  e l'amor mio l'allaccia.

Ed or ch'è notte, solingo viandante,
  io vado e più non spero;
  la donna mia mutò passione e amante
  e il vento è cupo e l'orizzonte è nero!
