Canzone nell' opera comica Re Enzo
 (Sung text for setting by O. Respighi)
 Matches base text
Language: Italian (Italiano)

Amor mi fa sovente
Lo meo core penare,
Dammi pene e sospiri
E son forte temente
Per lunga dimorare
Ciò che poria avveniri:
Non ch'aggia dubitanza
De la dolze speranza
Che 'n ver di me fallanza ne facesse,
Ma tenem' in dottanza
La lunga adimoranza
Di ciò e che venirne potesse!

Va, canzonetta mia,
E saluta Messere,
Dilli lo mal ch' i' aggio,
Quelli che m'à n' balia
Sì distretto mi tene
Ch' eo viver non poraggio.
Salutami Toscana,
Quella ched à sovrana
In cui regna tutta cortesia,
E vanne in Puglia piana,
La magna, capitana,
Là dove lo mio core à nott'e dia!
