by Antonio Salvi (1664 - 1724)
Prendi quel ferro, barbaro
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Prendi quel ferro, o barbaro, quest'innocente svena! Figlio, ben mio, perdonami ma tu mi guardi, o caro! Ahi, che momento amaro, sento spezzarsi il cor. Se non ti basta il sangue del figlio mio infelice, svena la genitrice, bevi il mio sangue ancor.
