by Pietro Dolfino

Non volete ch'io mi dolga?
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  FRE
Non volete ch'io mi dolga? 
Se quei vezzi che mi fate 
Sono finti e simulati, 
Se quei sguardi che vibrate 
Sono dardi avvelenati? 
Se con barbaro rigore 
Qual Sirena lusinghiera 
Alletate perché pera 
Questo misero mio core, 
S'io sto in pene fra catene, 
Ne v'è alcuno che mi sciolga, 
Non volete ch'io mi dolga? 
Non volete ch'io mi dolga, 
Se il destino meco irato 
M'ha riddotto a questo passo, 
Che qual Sisifo dannato 
Io mi crucio con un sasso? 
Sasso fu che tocco, oh Dio, 
Dall'acciaio di mia fede, 
Per indebita mercede 
Mand'il foco al seno mio. 
S'io mi sento tal tormento 
Che non so dove mi volga, 
Non volete ch'io mi dolga?
