He whispered
Language:
English
He whispered, "My love, raise your eyes."
I sharply chid him, and said "Go!";
but he did not stir.
He stood before me and held both my hands.
I said, "Leave me!";
but he did not go.
He brought his face near my ear.
I glanced at him and said, "What a shame!"; but he did not move.
His lips touched my cheek.
I trembled and said, "You dare too much";
but he had no shame.
He put a flower in my hair.
I said, "It is useless!"; but he stood unmoved.
He took the garland from my neck and went away.
I weep and ask my heart,
"Why does he not come back?"

Egli mormorò: Amor mio, alza i tuoi occhi
Language:
Italian
Egli mormorò: "Amor mio, alza i tuoi occhi."
Lo rimproverai aspramente dicendo: "Parti!"
Ma egli non si mosse.
Stette davanti a me tenendomi per le mani.
Dissi: "Lasciami."
Ma egli non se ne andò.
Accostò il suo viso al mio orecchio.
Le sue labbra sfiorarono il mio volto
Tremai e dissi: "Troppo ardisci."
Ma egli non si commosse...
Prese la ghirlanda ch'era al mio collo e mi lasciò.
Ora piango e domando al mio cor:
"Perchè non torna?"
