Mary, tremando 
l'ultima stella
Nel vasto azzurro 
Tra poco vanirà;
È presso a sorgere 
l'alba novella,
Con un susurro 
L'aura l'annunzia già.

Io non ti dico, vieni al verone;
Mary, in quest'ore 
Più dolce è riposar;
Mormoro basso la mia canzone,
Che il tuo sopore
Non giunga ad abbreviar...

Solo domando, solo desio
Che il canto mio
Lambendo il tuo guancial,
Versi, o fanciulla, 
nella tuo mente,
L'onda lucente
D'un sogno celestial!

Mary, tremando 
l'ultima stella
Nel vasto azzurro 
Tra poco vanirà...

Mattinata
Language: Spanish (Español)  after the Italian (Italiano) 
Mary, temblando,
la última estrella
en el vasto azul
pronto desaparecerá,
y casi al surgir
la nueva aurora
con un susurro
el aura la anuncia ya
 
No te digo: ven a la ventana
Mary, a esta hora
es mas dulce reposar.
Murmuro suave mi canción
para que tu sopor
no venga a abreviar.
 
Solo pido, solo deseo
Que mi canto,
lamiendo tu mejilla
vierta, oh niña,
en tu mente
la onda luminosa
de un sueño celestial
 
Mary, temblando,
la última estrella
en el vasto azul
pronto desaparecerá...
