Due canti d'amore

Song Cycle by Ildebrando Pizzetti (1880 - 1968)

1. Adjuro vos, filiae Jerusalem
 (Sung text)

Language: Latin 
In lectulo meo, in noctes,
quæsivi quem diligit anima mea;
quæsivi illum, et non inveni.

Adjuro vos, filiae Jerusalem,
si inveneritis dilectum meum,
ut nuntietis ei quia amore langueo.

2. Oscuro è il ciel
 (Sung text)

Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Oscuro è il ciel;
Nell'onde la luna già s'asconde
E in seno al mar le Plejadi
Già discendendo van.
È mezzanotte,
E l'ora passa frattanto,
E sola qui sulle piume
Ancora veglio ed attendo in van.
