Star vicino
 (Sung text for setting by S. Rosa)
 Matches base text
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  ENG POR
Star vicino al bell'idol che s'ama,
È il più dolce diletto d'amor,
È un incanto, un'ebbrezza, una brama,
Che due cori congiunge in un cor.

Fortunato chi intende gli accenti
Di un affetto sincero e fedel!
Egli prova vivendo i contenti
Sol concessi ai beato nel ciel!

A che giova l'estate fiorita?
Ogni bene che il cielo ne diè
Non si conti fra i giorni di vita
Quel che scorso in amando non è.

Composition:

    Set to music misattributed to Salvator Rosa (1615 - 1673), "Star vicino"
