by Emilio Praga (1839 - 1875)

Se tu lo vedi gli dirai che l'amo
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  ENG
Se tu lo vedi gli dirai che l'amo,
che l'amo ancora come ai primi dì,
che nei languidi sogni ancor lo chiamo,
lo chiamo ancor come se fosse qui.

E gli dirai che colla fé tradita
Tutto il gaudio d'allor non mi rapì;
E gli dirai che basta alla mia vita
l'ultimo bacio che l'addio finì!

Nessun lo toglie dalla bocca mia
l'ultimo bacio che l'addio finì.
Ma se vuoi dargli un altro in compagnia 
Digli che l'amo, e che l'aspetto qui.
