Sogna il guerrier le schiere
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Sogna il guerrier le schiere,
Le selve il cacciator;
E sogna il pescator
Le reti e l'amo.
Sopito in dolce obblio,
Sogno pur io così
Colei, che tutto il dì
sospiro e chiamo.

The warrior dreams of soldiers
Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)
The warrior dreams of soldiers,
The hunter of forests,
And likewise the fisherman
dreams of nets and hooks.
Asleep in sweet oblivion,
I likewise dream:
On her about whom all day
I sigh and whose name I call.
