What deep emotion
remembering yesterday
when everything in Venice
spoke to me of love
In the face of (or before) my loneliness
at dawn (or during sunset)
your distant memory
came searching for me
What a calm stillness
What sadness without end
How different Venice is
if I'm missing you
A gondola goes by
sheltering a love
the one I gave to you
tell me where it is
What sadness there is in you
you don't look the same
You're another kind of Venice
more cold and more gray
The serene canal
of romantic light
doesn't have the enchantment
that makes one dream
What a calm stillness
What sadness without end
How different Venice is
if I'm missing you
Not even the moon passing by
has the same glow
How sad and alone it is
Venice without your love
How I suffer as I think
how in Venice died
the love that you swore
to keep eternally
All that remains is a goodbye
one I can't forget
today Venice without you
how sad and alone it is.
