Song Cycle by Giovanni Sgambati (1841 - 1914)

6. Ballata  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Eravi un vecchio sire,
Canuto il crine e grave il core avea;
Povero vecchio sire!
Una sposina giovine prendea.

C'era un bel paggio, avea
Leggero il core e bionda la testina;
Alla giovin reina
Lo strascico di seta egli reggea. -

Conosci tu l'antica canzoncina ?
Suona si dolce, suona si amara!
Son morti tutti e due, paggio e regina:
La gli era troppo cara.
