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.

Romanza (Stecchetti)
Language: Portuguese (Português)  after the Italian (Italiano)
Quando ao cair das folhas, triste, fores buscar ao cemitério a minha cruz, há de encontrá-la num recanto, e flores em derredor terão nascido a flux. Colhe então essas flores com meiguice, nasceram do meu pobre coração... prende-as à trança de ouro dos cabelos; não as desprezes, por piedade! São os cantos que idei-ei sem escrevê-los, as palavras de amor que não te disse.
