Così nel mio parlar voglio esser aspro

Song Cycle by Anna Dobrucka (b. 1989)

3.   [sung text not yet checked]

Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Egli alza ad ora ad or la mano, e sfida
la debole mia vita, esto perverso,
che disteso a riverso
mi tiene in terra d’ogni guizzo stanco:
allor mi surgon ne la mente strida;
e ‘l sangue, ch’è per le vene disperso,
fuggendo corre verso
lo cor, che ‘l chiama; ond’io rimango bianco.
Elli mi fiede sotto il braccio manco
sì forte che ‘l dolor nel cor rimbalza:
allor dico: "S’elli alza
un’altra volta, Morte m’avrà chiuso
prima che ‘l colpo sia disceso giuso".
