Il sibillo

Song Cycle by Gaetano Donizetti (1797 - 1848)

?. Che non mi disse un dì!
 (Sung text)

Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Che non mi disse un dì!
Quai numi non giurò!
E come, oh Dio! si può,
come si può così
mancar di fede?
Tutto per lui perdei;
oggi lui perdo ancor.
Poveri affetti miei!
Questa mi rendi, Amor,
questa mercede?
