Quando cadran le foglie

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 accanto.

Cògli allora pe' tuoi biondi capelli
I fiori nati dal mio cor. Son quelli
I canti che pensai ma che non scrissi,
Le parole d'amor che non ti dissi.

by Olindo Guerrini (1845-1916) , under the pseudonym Lorenzo Stecchetti, no title, from Postuma, no. 14, published 1877

Kogda, kruzhas', osennije listy

Kogda, kruzhas', osennije listy
Usypjat nashe bednoje kladbishche,
Tam v storone, gde skryli vsjo cvety,
Najdi mojo posledneje zhilishche!

Togda ukras' chelo venkom zhivykh cvetov,
Iz serdca mojego vozrosshikh, jim sogretykh.
To zvuki pesen, mnoju nedopetykh,
Ljubvi mojej ne vyskazannykh slov.
