by Olindo Guerrini (1845 - 1916), as Lorenzo Stecchetti

Fuori di porta
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Glauche le luci, bionde le chiome,
a me davanti lieve passò;
tutta tremante disse il mio nome
ed arrossendo mi salutò.

Ebbe negl'occhi come un desio,
un verecondo lampo d'amor...
Oh, dimmi, dimmi, dell'amor mio,
presago forse parlotti il cor?

Disse che solo, solo una ciocca
de'tuoi capelli vorrei baciar?
Che per un bacio della tua bocca
potrei la morte lieto sfidar?

Oh, se una voce nel tuo pensiero
così parlando te fe' arrossir,
credilo, bella, ti disse il vero; 
t'amo e l'amore non sa mentir.
