| Prega, Laura, l’amore. | Pray, Laura, love. |
| L’aurora non ancora | The dawn not yet |
| timida belt | shy belt |
| e circa da tre ore | and for about three hours |
| un pianto secco fa rumore | a dry cry makes noise |
| — tic tic tac — | - tick tick tick - |
| fra gola e anima. | between throat and soul. |
| Prega, Laura, l’amore | Pray, Laura, love |
| sapendo che l’aurora | knowing that the dawn |
| non lo porter, | I will not wear it, |
| con tutte le sue prove, | with all his evidence of her, |
| come ebbrezze nuove | like new intoxications |
| (tic tic tac | (tick tick tick |
| dal cuore all’anima) | from heart to soul) |
| Sogna di ricordi che per lei sono impossibili | She dreams of memories that are impossible for her |
| dando loro vita con soffi di pietosa carit. | giving them life with breaths of compassionate charity. |
| Nutre il suo languore con confetti di miracoli | She feeds his languor of hers with miracle dragees |
| e angustia il suo silenzio quando pensa | and his silence distresses her when she thinks |
