Se li arbori sapesser favellare
 (Sung text for setting by G. Ghedini)
 Matches base text
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Se li arbori sapesser favellare,
E le lor foglie fusseno le lengue,
L'inchiostro fusse l'acqua dello mare,
La terra fusse carta e l'erbe penne
Le tue bellezze non potria contare.
Quando nascesti gli angioli ci venne,
Quando nascesti, colorito giglio,
Tutti li santi furno a quel consiglio.

Composition:

    Set to music by Giorgio Federico Ghedini (1892 - 1965), "Se li arbori sapesser favellare", 1925, from Quattro strambotti di Giustiniani, no. 1
