by Ezio Cappelli , as Cappelli

Ballata medievale
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Bella, cantiam l'amore...
Passa la vita, ma l'amor non muore.

O giovinetta candida
mostrati al verone
a udir la mia canzone.
Guarda, le stelle splendono,
guarda, la luna invita,
bella, passa la vita.

Gentil mio trovatore
passa la vita e va con essa amore...

Ho il crin disciolto agli omeri,
trovier, ho nudo il seno...
e il ciel troppo è sereno.
Le stelle mi fan pavida
la luna non m'invita,
trovier, passa la vita.
