E si senton, mancando i rotti accenti, | |||
Agghiacciar tra le labbra i baci ardenti. | |||

He embraced her sweetly and answered | He embraced her sweetly and answered | ||
with mournful sounds her joyful ones. | with mournful sounds her joyful ones. | ||
O fortunate ones! The one dying | |||
in the mouth of the other, a sweet shade | |||
of death darkens their trembling eyes, | |||
and they feel, their broken words vanishing into the air, | |||
their passionate kisses cool on their lips. | |||
