Tosca

Opera by Giacomo Puccini (1858 - 1924)

?. A te
 (Sung text)

Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Oh! Quant'io t'amo!
In me forte e il desio!
Forte e il desio
di farti palpitarto Forte
di stringerti al cuor mio.

Da te cosi lontano
Io soffro , io soffro assai
He pace io trovo mai
perche troppo e l'amor

O mia vittoria,  o mio tesoro
O  ben   mio, o mio sol pensiero
E dammi un bacio e il mondo intiero
e mi farai tutto obliar

O mio vittoria, o mio tesor sara
O bene mio o mio sol pensiero
E dammi un bacio e  il mondo intiero
e mi farai tosto obbliar.
