Batti, batti, o bel Masetto
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG
Batti, batti, o bel Masetto, la tua povera Zerlina: starò qui come agnellina le tue bòtte ad aspettar. Lascerò straziarmi il crine, lascerò cavarmi gli occhi; e le tue care manine lieta poi saprò baciar. Ah, lo vedo, non hai core! Pace, pace, o vita mia! In contento ed allegria notte e dì vogliam passar.
