"Tadi malam, ah, tadi malam, di antara bibir dan bibirku ada bayanganmu, Cynara! Napasmu tercurah atas jiwaku di antara ciuman dan anggur; Dan aku sunyi dan muak dengan gairah lama, ya, aku sunyi dan menundukkan kepalaku: aku setia padamu, Cynara! dengan cara saya."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Last night, ah, yesternight, betwixt her lips and mine There fell thy shadow, Cynara! thy breath was shed Upon my soul between the kisses and the wine; And I was desolate and sick of an old passion, Yea, I was desolate and bowed my head: I have been faithful to thee, Cynara! in my fashion.
