La Favorita

Opera by Gaetano Donizetti (1797 - 1848)

?. Spirto gentil
 (Sung text)

Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Spirto gentil,
ne' sogni miei
brillasti un dì,
ma ti perdei:
fuggi dal cor;
mentita speme,
larve d'amor, larve d'amor,
fuggite insieme,
larve d'amor.

A te d'accanto
del genitore scordava
il pianto,
la patria, il ciel...
donna sleal
in tanto amore
segnasti il core
d'onta mortal,
ahimè!
