by Giuseppe Petrosellini (1727 - 1799)
Noi donne poverine
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Noi donne poverine, tapine sfortunata, appena siamo nate ch'abbiamo da penar. Disgrazie da bambine, strapazzi grandicelle, e dell'età nel fiore, o siamo brutte o belle il maledetto amore ci viene a tormentar. Meglio saria per noi non nascere, o morir.
