L'ora è tarda; deserto il mar si frange
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG GER
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
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
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?
