Nebbie
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE SPA
Soffro, lontan lontano
Le nebbie sonnolente
Salgono dal tacente 
         Piano.

Alto gracchiando, i corvi,
Fidati all'ali nere,
Traversan le brughiere
        Torvi.

Dell'aere ai morsi crudi
Gli addolorati tronchi
Offron, pregando, i bronchi 
        Nudi.

Come ho freddo!... Son sola;
Pel grigio ciel sospinto 
Un gemito destinto
        Vola;

E mi ripete: Vieni,
È buia la vallata.
O triste, o disamata,
        Vieni!

Brumes
Language: French (Français)  after the Italian (Italiano) 
Je souffre, au loin, au loin,
Les brumes assoupies
S'élèvent de la silencieuse
Plaine.

En haut, croassant, les corbeaux,
leurs ailes noires fidèles,
Traversent les landes
Sinistres.

Aux morsures cruelles des airs
Les troncs affligés
Offrent, en priant, leurs branches 
nues.

Comme j'ai froid ! Je suis seule ;
Jetée à travers le ciel gris
Une plainte perceptible
Vole ;

Et me répète : Viens ;
La vallée est sombre.
Ô toi qui es triste, mal aimée,
Viens !
