Nell'orror di notte oscura
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  FRE
Nell'orror di notte oscura,
Quando tace il mondo intier,
Del mio bene in fra le mura
Vola sempre il mio pensier.

E colei che tanto adoro
Forse ad altri il cor donò;
Ciel, per me non v'ha ristoro,
Io d'ambascia morirò.

Quando in terra il giorno imbruna
Il mio spirto apparirà
Ed il raggio della luna
Fosco fosco si vedrà.

D'un amante moribondo,
D'un tradito adorator,
Udirà l'intero mondo 
Il lamento del dolor.

E d'amore nella storia
Sarà scritto ognor così:
Maledetta la memoria
Di colei che lo tradì!
