Fammi beato!
 (Sung text for setting by F. Campana)
 See original
Language: Italian (Italiano)  after the Greek (Ελληνικά) 
Cerchi ricchezze, onor 
chi n'ha desio;
un sorriso d'amor 
chiede il cor mio.
Del mondo non mi cal, 
d'ogni suo bene;
un tuo più sguardo val, 
diletta Irene!
Se in te parla pietà 
d'un disperato,
vieni al deserto, e là 
fammi beato!

Soli indivisi allor, 
cara, vivremo,
la terra del dolor
bella vedremo.
Mai nel mondo non fu,
non è riposo;
contro la gioventù
freme invidioso.
Ti basti il tuo fedel 
per te creato;
a lui ti lega il ciel,
segui il tuo fato.

Composition:

    Set to music by Fabio Campana (1819 - 1882), "Fammi beato!"
