Nostalgie proletarie
 (Sung text for setting by D. Zannoni)
 Matches base text
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Versi d’angoscia, rime di dolore,
di ricordanze pie, di sdegno e d’ira
mestamente fluitemi dal core,
dal mio pover cor ch’invan sospira,

ite, n’andate pur nunzie d’amore
cola’ ove Fame squallida s’aggira;
ov’e’ un meschin che langue, ed un che muore;
sul patibol del martire che spira.

E, se talor di mordervi s’attenta
qualche pasciuto critico gaudente,
ditegli: Noi nascemmo a luce spenta,

noi ‘l grido siam de la sepolta gente,
di chi per voi sotterra suda e stenta,
e, paria invendicato, muor sovente.
