In faccia all'oggetto
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Our translations: ENG
In faccia all'oggetto, che m'arde d'amore, dovrei sol diletto sentirmi nel core, ma sento un tormento, che intender non so. Quel labbro, che tace, quel torbido ciglio la cara mia pace già mette in periglio, già dice, che solo penare dovrò.
