L'ora è tarda; deserto il mar si frange, e il gregge a 'l pian calò: una tristezza grave in cor mi piange, e sovra il lito io sto. Io mi struggo d'amore e di desío, ma tu non pensi a me: tu sei partito senza dirmi addio: perché, dimmi, perché?

It's late, deserted is the agitated sea, And the flock rests on the plain: Great sadness eats at my heart, And I feel petrified. I perish from love and desire, While you don't waste a thought about me... You went away without farewell: Why, tell me why?
