Le cose piccoline
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Le cose piccoline son pur belle! Le cose piccoline son pur care! Ponete mente come son le perle: son piccoline, e si fanno pagare. Ponete mente come l'è l'uliva: l'è piccolina, e di buon frutto mena. Ponete mente come l'è la rosa: l'è piccolina, e l'è tanto odorosa.
