Per pietà, non ricercate
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG
Per pietà, non ricercate La cagion del mio tormento, Sì crudele in me lo sento, Che neppur lo so spiegar! Vo pensando… ma poi come?... Per uscir... ma che mi giova Di far questa o quella prova, Se non trovo in che sperar? Ah, tra l'ire e tra gli sdegni Della mia funesta sorte, Chiamo solo, oh Dio, la morte, Che mi venga a consolar!
