Due Liriche Cinesi

Song Cycle by Agide Tedoldi (1887 - 1962)

1. A una Lucciola
 (Sung text)

Language: Italian (Italiano) 
La luna non può estinguere
il tuo lume tremante,
il vento lo fa splendere
di luce più brillante.
Porta dunque nell'etere
puro la tua fiammella,
e stà presso alla candida luna,
come una stella.

Text Authorship:

2. In Cammino
 (Sung text)

Language: Italian (Italiano) 
È una notte di nuvole torbide.
Camminare così in mezzo
alle tenebre è un molto brutto andare.
Ma domattina a bruzzolo questi monti,
serrati l'uno sull'altro,
debbono essere già oltre passati.
Pur troppo m'è impossibile rallentare il viaggio,
fermarmi e quante giovani ahimè,
in ogni villaggio!  Se domani esse chiedono
di me com'è ch'io vadasi ratto, dite:
Ha l'anima di ghiaccio, il cor di giada!

Text Authorship:

  • by Mario Chini (1876 - 1959) [an adaptation]
