LYRICS:
Al dolce guidami castel natio,
ai verdi platani, al cheto rio,
che i nostri mormora
sospiri ancor.
Ah! colĂ , dimentico
de' scorsi affanni,
un giorno rendimi
de' miei primi'anni,
un giorno sol del nostro amor....

Al dolce guidami castel natio,
un giorno rendimi
del nostro amor...
un giorno sol del nostro,
del nostro amor.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION:
Lead me to the dear castle
where I was born,
to the green plane trees,
to that brook that still
murmurs to our sighs...
Ah!
there I forget Past griefs;
give me back one day of my youth,
give me back one day of our love.

Lead me to the dear castle
where I was born;
give me back one day
of our love..
just one single day of our love.
