by Giovanni Battista Casti (1724 - 1803)

Che filosofo buffon (Ofelia's Air)
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  LIT
Ofelia
Larallara...
Che filosofo buffon
In che misero grotton
Sempre in gran meditazion
Vanegiando se ne sta.

Larallara...

Quella trista abitazion
Per quel brutto mascheron
E un allogio bell‘e buon
Ma per me certo non fa.

Larallara...
