Ritorna tutti gli anni, Sempre alla stessa data, Monti e mare essa varca per tornar. Solo amore Quando fugge e va lontano Speri invano ma non torna più, Speri invano Ma non torna più. II Ne la penombra dolce della sera Passa la primavera. Cinguettano le rondini nel volo, Ebbre di luce e d'aria. Ed io son triste e solo; Monti e mare tu non varchi per tornar. Mia piccina, Fosti tutta la mia vita; Sei fuggita E non torni più. Sei fuggita E non torni più. English I Under the eaves of the old tower, as the almond tree blossoms, a friendly swallow has returned. Every year she returns, always in the same day. She crosses mountains and sea to get back here. Only love flees and does not return. It makes you hope in vain, but it does not return. It makes you hope in vain, but it does not return. II In the soft twilight of evening springtime is passing. The swallows chatter in their flight — they are drunk with light and air. But I am sad and lonely. You do not cross mountains and sea to come back to me. My little one, You were my whole life, but you ran away, never to return. You ran away, never to return!
