by Arnaldo Frateili (1888 - 1965)

Stornello
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Son come chicchi della melograna 
Vellutati e vermigli i labbri tuoi 
Gareggiar colla fragola montana 
Pel profumo dell'alito tu puoi 

Come le piante che gemme odorate 
Distillano dal tronco e dalla chioma 
Tu stilli dale tue labbra rosate 
Baci che sono del tuo cor l'aroma. 

Fammi nutrir di baci si soavi 
Come si nutre di rugiada il fiore 
Baciami sempre come mi baciavi 
La prima volta che ti strinsi al core! 

Se tu fossi rugiada le tue stille 
Di vita altrici negheresti al fior? 
Baciami dunque e fa nove scintilla 
Arder di vita in quest'arido cor!
