Tense in Relative Clauses

The Latin languages have forms like this one in Italian:

main clause relative clause
lo dir� quando la luce splender�
I will say it [when the light will shine]
- Nessun Dorma, Giacomo Puccini

But in English we do not say:

**I will say it [when the light will shine]. (The verbs in both clauses have future forms.)
(On this page, [] indicates a relative clause.)

Instead we say:

I will say it [when the light shines]. (The verb in the main clause has a future form but the verb in the relative clause has a non-past form.)
