English lyric:

Chorus:

Once love was new, and the night was a poem set to music;
You were the poem, and the song in my heart was the music.
There while a dream was made, dawn came too fast;
And I was so afraid, it was too beautiful, too lovely to last;
And now love is old, just a mem'ry to have and to hold,
And when you are gone, I still will adore you.
I implore you that before you say adieu,
Please tell me that you will remember
A poem set to music long ago, on a night when love was new.

Italian lyric:

"Poema In Musica"

Chorus:

Si, tu lo sai, fu_il più dolce poema d'amore;
Che ascoltai sulla musica del nostro cuore.
Si, fu_in un attimo, che cominciò,
Il sogno magico; ma troppo rapido, l'istante passò!
Però tu lo lai, che quel dolce poema d'amor.
Troppo bello fu, perchè il ricordo,
Non rimanga dolcemente, sempre_in me!
Tu, non lo quoi di menticare!
Ancor quel poema rivivrai con la musica del cuor!
