La Vedovella
Language: Italian (Italiano)
La vedovella, quando rifà il letto, Di lacrime ne bagna le lenzuola; E rimirando il suo candido petto, Piange e duole in ritrovarsi sola. E mentre pensa al suo perduto amore, La piaga più le s'apre in mezzo al cuore! E mentre pensa al suo perduto amore, La piaga più le s'apre in mezzo al cuore!
