by Riccardo Mazzola (1892 - 1922)

Tormento
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Quando ricorderò le tue carezze
ove mai sarai tu?
Di quei giorni di sogni e di dolcezze
che mai resterà più?

Quando ti chiamerò nel mio tormento
chi mai risponderà?
Amore è come un'alito di vento: 
passa, carezza, va!

E se t'incontrerò su la mia via
che mai dir ti potrò?
Una stella filò come una scia 
e il mare la smorzò.

Ma s'io ti chiamerò come in quell'ore
non fuggirmi così.
Non volgere la faccia al mio dolore
se il tuo sogno mori!
