Ricordi ancora il dì che c'incontrammo, Le tue promesse le ricordi ancor...? Folle d'amore io ti seguii ...ci amammo, E accanto a te sognai, folle d'amor. Sognai felice, di carezze a baci Una catena dileguante in ciel; Ma le parole tue... furon mendaci... Perchè l'anima tua è fatta di gel. Te ne ricordi ancor? Te ne ricordi ancor? Or la mia fede, il desiderio immenso Il mio sogno d'amor...non sei più tu: I tuoi baci non cerco, a te non penso... Sogno un altro ideal; non t'amo più. Nei cari giorni che pasamo ineieme Io cosparsi di fiori il tuo sentier Tu fosti del mio cor l'unica speme Tu della mente l'unico pensier Tu m'hai visto pregare, impallidire, Piangere tu mhai visto innanzi a te Io sol per appagare un tuo desire Avrei dato il mio sangue a la mia fè... Te ne ricordi ancor? Te ne ricordi ancor? Or la mia fede, il desiderio immenso Il mio sogno d'amor...non sei più tu: I tuoi baci non cerco, a te non penso... Sogno un altro ideal; non t'amo più.

Do you still remember the day that we met; Do you still remember your promises? Crazy from love I followed you, we were enamored with each other And I dreamed next to you, crazy from love. I dreamed, happily, of caresses and kisses A chain fading away into the sky: But your words were misleading, Because your soul is made of ice. Do you still remember? Do you still remember? Now my faith, my immense desire; My dream of love isn’t you anymore: I don’t search for your kisses, I don’t think of you. I dream of another ideal; I don’t love you anymore. In the dear days that we spent together I scattered flowers at your feet You were the only hope of my heart You were the only thought in my mind You watched me beg, turning pale You watched me cry before you Only to satisfy your desire, I Had given my blood and my faith. Do you still remember? Do you still remember? Now my faith, my immense desire; My dream of love isn’t you anymore: I don’t search for your kisses, I don’t think of you. I dream of another ideal; I don’t love you anymore.
