by Rocco Emanuele Pagliara (1856 - 1914)

Se torni ancora dove un di vagammo
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  ENG
Se torni ancora dove un di vagammo, 
tra'folti rami udrai come un sospir: 
è questo cor che i giorni in cui ci amammo 
richiama ognor con rio desir! 
Ten prego, allor deh parla e bacia i fiori 
pel dolce tempo de'sogni d'ôr! 
O amore, o amor! Ne' lunghi suoi dolori 
t'invoca il cor, t'invoca il cor!

Se, mentre dormi, un triste suono udrai 
che geme intorno e pioggia o mar non è, 
è il pianto mio, che non s'acqueta mai, 
o mio tesor, pensando a te! 
Per poco almén, ne' dolci tuoi sopori, 
con me deh piangi e parla ancor! 
O amore, o amor! Ne' lunghi suoi dolori, 
t'invoca il cor, t'invoca il cor!

Ah, forse un giorno in un supremo incanto 
a me ritorni il tuo sublime amor! 
Allor, ne l'ombra, mi richiama accanto 
la mano stendi e mi riprendi ancor! 
Li sguardi tuoi, con vividi fulgori, 
su me felice, splenderanno allor!
Ah, torna a me! Ne' lunghi suoi dolori, 
t'invoca il cor, t'invoca il cor!
