Senza baci
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): FRE
Fra poco ei tornerà, la bruna testa Mi poserà sul core E chiederà, fissandomi, se mesta, Priva de' baci suoi vissi quest'ore. Io gli risponderò: «Fanciullo, è muto Il mio dolore istesso. Lontan da te, lo sai, non ho vissuto. Nelle tue braccia fà ch'io viva adesso!»
