by Pietro Antonio Domenico Bonaventura Trapassi (1698 - 1782), as Pietro Metastasio

Ah che nel dirti addio
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  ENG
Ah che nel dirti addio 
Mi sento il cor dividere 
parte del sangue mio 
viscere del mio sen.

Soffri da chi t'uccide 
soffri gli estremi  amplessi 
Così morir potessi 
nelle tue braccia almen.
