La desolazione
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Ritorna ch'io t'amo, mio primo sospir, Ritorna ch'io bramo vedertie morir. Nell' alba ridente mi la ci del di, tradita languente mi trovi cosi tradita languente mi lasci cosi, ah! Del pianto versato non chiedo mercè, l'affetto giurato non bramo da te: vederti vo glio vederti e morir, mio primo desio mio primo sospir ah! mio primo desio mio solo sospir.
