Quando cadran le foglie e tu verrai A cercar la mia croce in camposanto, In un cantuccio la ritroverai E molti fior le saran [nati]1 accanto. Cògli [allora]2 pe' tuoi biondi capelli I fiori nati [dal]3 mio cor. Son quelli I canti che pensai [ma]1 che non scrissi, Le parole d'amor che non ti dissi.

Wenn erst der Wald entlaubt wird von den Winden, Gehst du zum Friedhof, Trauer im Gemüth, Und wirst mein Grab in einem Winkel finden, Von vielen dunklen Blumen überblüht. Die ließ mein Herz erblühn; du sollst sie pflücken, Dein schönes blondes Haar damit zu schmücken. Die Lieder sind's, die ich nicht aufgeschrieben, Die Liebesworte, die unsagbar blieben.
