by Pietro Antonio Domenico Bonaventura Trapassi (1698 - 1782), as Pietro Metastasio

Semplicetta tortorella
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  ENG ENG
Semplicetta tortorella,
Che non vede il suo periglio,
Per fuggir da crudo artiglio,
Vola in grembo al cacciator.

Voglio anch'io fuggir 
La pena d'un amor fin or taciuto
E m'espongo d'un rifiuto,
All' oltraggio ed al rossor.
