Serenata
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Mormorante di tenero desio langue lontan la mesta serenata, ma s'arresta il canto mio a la gelida soglia del mio cor. "Bianca fata, non vi scuote la cadenza addolorata? Non vi portan le mie note come un'onda di sospir? O mia bianca idolatrata, di chi sognate, ohimè! di chi sognate? Fremo e canto e di dolor culla i vostri sogni d'or la serenata!"
Note (provided by Andrew Schneider) : according to Francesco Cilea: Composizioni vocali da camera (Ricordi), P. Joe may be a pseudonym of Giuseppe Pessina.
