by Gaëtano Rossi (1774 - 1855)

Se tanto in ira agli uomini
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Linda! Si ritirò povera Linda!
Non sa che l'orgogliosa madre mia
scoprì già i nostri amor... ch'or da lei parte:
che s'oggi non istringo
un odioso imeneo, che già conchiuse
in suo voler tiranno
un ordine real!... Mi strapperanno
dal seno l'infelice,
qual vile seduttrice!
Un sol momento
veder io la voleva. Non mi sento
or più coraggio. Addio,
il cielo ti consoli, angelo mio.
 	
Se tanto in ira agli uomini  
è l'amor nostro, o cara,
il duro laccio infrangasi
di questa vita amara.
Lassù nel cielo un termine,
la nostra guerra avrà.
