by Francesco Rizzelli (1838 - 1910)
Translation by Joseph Dieudonné Tagliafico (1821 - 1900)

Pour toi
Language: French (Français)  after the Italian (Italiano) 
Pour toi, l’aurore est plus vermeille, 
Plus pur le lac, plus doux le vent, 
Plus fraîche la rose s’éveille, 
L’oiseau redit son plus beau chant. 
Pour toi, la source a son murmure, 
La mousse fleurit sous tes pas. 
Ah ! Pour toi, se pare la nature, 
Et seule tu ne le vois pas, etc.
 
Pour toi, je donnerais mon rêve 
De gloire, mon rêve enchanté, 
Mon nom que la fortune élève, 
Que sais-je encore ? Ma liberté !
Pour toi, seul bonheur que j’envie,
Seul bien que j’espère ici-bas, 
Ah! Pour toi, je donnerais ma vie, 
Et seule tu ne le sais pas, etc.
