Il Primo Libro de Madrigali

by Johann Grabbe (1585 - 1655)

Cor mio, deh, non languire

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Cor mio, deh, non languire, 
Che fai teco languir l'anima mia. 
Odi i caldi sospiri: a te gl'invia
La pietat'e 'l desire. 
S'io ti potessi dar morend'aita,
Morrei per darti vita. 
Ma viv'ohimè, ch'ingiustamente more
Chi vivo tien ne l'altrui pett'il core.
