L'amor funesto
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG
Più che non ama un angelo, T'amai nel mio deliro, Mi fusi nel tuo spirito, Vissi nel tuo respiro, Ma un core senza palpiti, Un giuro senza fè, Un riso senza lagrime, Donna, tu desti a me. Addio, lontano è il tumulo Che accoglierà quest'ossa, Né resterà pei gemiti La traccia della fossa; L'angiol tu fosti e il demone De' miei consunti dì, T'amo, dicesti a un misero, Ed egli ne morì.
Note: if by Nieuvenhuysen, it was under the pseudonym of Vaez.
