by Ada Negri (1870 - 1945)
Te solo
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Qui... te solo, te solo. - Oh, lascia, lascia Ch'io sfoghi sul tuo cor tutti i singulti Da tant'anni nel petto accumulati, Tutti gli affanni e i desideri occulti... Ho bisogno di pianto. Sul tuo sen palpitante, oh, lascia, lascia Ch'io riposi la testa affaticata, Come timido augello sotto l'ala, Come rosa divelta e reclinata... Ho bisogno di pace. Sul tuo giovine fronte, oh, lascia, lascia Ch'io prema il labbro acceso e trepidante, Ch'io ti susurri l'unica parola Che t'incateni a me per un istante... Ho bisogno d'amore.
