Na solidão da minha vida Morrerei, querida, Do teu desamor. Muito embora me desprezes, Te amarei constante, Sem que a ti distante Chegue a longe e triste voz do trovador Feliz te quero! Mas se um dia Toda essa alegria Se mudasse em dor, Ouvirás do passado A voz do meu carinho Repetir baixinho A meiga e triste confissão do meu amor
