Vorrei dir, e cor non ho
 (Sung text for setting by W. Mozart)
 Matches base text
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Vorrei dir, e cor non ho,  
balbettando il labbro va;
fuor la voce uscir non può,
ma mi resta mezza qua.
Che farete? Che farò?
Oh, che gran fatalità!
Dar di peggio non si può:
ho di voi, di lor pietà!
