Ricordi ancora il dì che c'incontrammo
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  ENG GER SPA
Ricordi ancora il dì che c'incontrammo,
Le tue promesse le ricordi ancor...?
Folle d'amore io ti seguii ...ci amammo,
E accanto a te sognai, folle  d'amor.

Sognai felice, di carezze a baci
Una catena dileguante in ciel;
Ma le parole tue... furon mendaci...
Perchè l'anima tua è fatta di gel.

Te ne ricordi ancor?
Te ne ricordi ancor?

Or la mia fede, il desiderio immenso
Il mio sogno d'amor...non sei più tu:
I tuoi baci non cerco, a te non penso...
Sogno un altro ideal; non t'amo più.

Nei cari giorni che pasamo ineieme
Io cosparsi di fiori il tuo sentier
Tu fosti del mio cor l'unica speme
Tu della mente l'unico pensier

Tu m'hai visto pregare, impallidire,
Piangere tu mhai visto innanzi a te
Io sol per appagare un tuo desire
Avrei dato il mio sangue a la mia fè...

Te ne ricordi ancor?
Te ne ricordi ancor?

Or la mia fede,  il desiderio immenso
Il mio sogno d'amor...non sei più tu:
I tuoi baci non cerco, a te non penso...
Sogno un altro ideal; non t'amo più.

Do you still remember the day that we met
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano) 
Do you still remember the day that we met;
Do you still remember your promises?
Crazy from love I followed you, we were enamored with each other
And I dreamed next to you, crazy from love.

I dreamed, happily, of caresses and kisses
A chain fading away into the sky:
But your words were misleading, 
Because your soul is made of ice.

Do you still remember?
Do you still remember?

Now my faith, my immense desire;
My dream of love isn’t you anymore:
I don’t search for your kisses, I don’t think of you.
I dream of another ideal; I don’t love you anymore.

In the dear days that we spent together
I scattered flowers at your feet 
You were the only hope of my heart 
You were the only thought in my mind

You watched me beg, turning pale
You watched me cry before you 
Only to satisfy your desire, I 
Had given my blood and my faith.

Do you still remember?
Do you still remember?

Now my faith, my immense desire;
My dream of love isn’t you anymore:
I don’t search for your kisses, I don’t think of you.
I dream of another ideal; I don’t love you anymore.
