Scrivimi, amor mio
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Scrivimi, amor mio, la parola del perdono.
Che la mia pena tocchi il tuo cuore!
Sono la tua piccola donna smarrita.
Ti cerco nelle notti insonni.
Nel sogno ti rivedo.
Mi parli col tuo dolce sorriso,
Mi guardi coi tuoi teneri occhi,
Quando l'ira non li riempie
Di lucidi spigoli d'acciaio.
I tuoi occhi sembrano due diamanti gelidi,
Ma se sorridono hanno il tremulo riflesso
Delle acque marine.
I miei occhi hanno il colore del mar
Disteso ai piedi d'una rupe;
La pupilla affoga nella tempesta;
Le onde sfuggono dal loro letto e precipitano:
Son le lacrime del mio dolore!
Scrivimi, amor mio, la parola del perdono!
Se il tuo viso sereno si chinerà sul mio viso,
Presto si asciugherà il mio pianto, 
Come un rivolo d'acqua
Sotto l'improvviso abbagliante sole, dopo la tempesta.
Oh! Scrivimi, amor mio, la parola del perdono.
