Donde lieta
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Our translations: GRE
Donde lieta uscì al tuo grido d' amore, torna sola Mimi al solitario nido. Ritorna un' altra volta a intesser finti fior. Addio, senza rancor. Ascolta, ascolta. Le poche robe aduna che lasciai sparse. Nel mio cassetto stan chiusi quel cerchietto d' or e il libro di preghiere. Involgi tutto quanto in un grembiale e manderò il portiere... Bada, sotto il guanciale c' è la cuffietta rosa. Se... vuoi .... serbarla a ricordo d' amor!. Addio, senza rancor.
