Love came to us in time gone by
When one at twilight shyly played
And one in fear was standing nigh –
For Love at first is all afraid.
We were grave lovers. Love is past
That had his sweet hours many a one;
Welcome to us now at the last
The ways that we shall go upon.
A noi venne Amore nei tempi andati,
che l’una al crepuscolo schiva sonava
e l’altro accanto stava pauroso…
chè Amore in principio è tutto tremore.
Fu grave amarsi, Finito è l’amore,
le sue dolci ore non rare.
Salutiamo finalmente le strade
per cui dovremo andare.
