by Corrado Ricci (1858 - 1934)

Ridonami la calma!
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  ENG
Ave Maria per l'aria va il suon d'una campana
Sorge venere pura e solitaria da la selva lontana.
Oh! Come si diffonde del vespero la pace!
La rondine ritorna a le sue gronde e là s'addorme e tace
Resta un murmure lento di mille voci strane.
Forse tra i fiori e tra le siepi 
il vento racconta storie arcane.
Chi sa quanti pensieri in quel susurro grato!
Il vento canta e sopra i cimiteri e i giardini è passato.

Ave maria, nel core comm'èe dolce la sera?
Tu sai che ne' tormenti dell'amore è schietta la preghiera;
ond'io, nel cielo fiso lo sguardo umido e l'alma:
"Ridonami, ti prego, il mio sorriso;
Ridonami la calma, ridonami la calma!"
