Preghiera
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Quando a letto vo' la sera, viene d'angeli una schiera: Due si stan del letto ai più, Due da capo presso a me: Due ne vanno al destro fianco Due ne vanno al lato manco; Due mi copron pian pianino, Due mi svegliano al mattino; Due mi mostran, dolci in viso Il cammin di Paradiso.
