D’aquell rostre he après

Language: Catalan (Català) after the Italian (Italiano)

D’aquell rostre he après
a sospirar d’amor,
i sempre per aquell rostre
sospiraré d’amor.

La torxa en la que m’he encès
només a mi em sedueix i em plau,
i totes les altres torxes són massa fredes
per escalfar-me el cor.
