Vorrei bacarti, O Filli
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Vorrei bacarti, O Filli, Ma non so come ove 'I mio bacio scocchi, Ne la bocca o negl'occhi. Cedan le labra a voi, lumi divini, Fidi specchi del core, Vive stelle d'Amore! Ah, pur mi volgo a voi, perle e rubini, Tesoro di bellezza, Fontana di dolcezza, Bocca, onor del bel viso: Nasce il pianto da lor, tu m'apri il riso!
