by Giovanni Battista Lorenzi (1721 - 1807)
Lagrime mie di affanno
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Lagrime mie di affanno, sospiri del mio cor, all'idol mio tiranno spiegate il mio dolor. Ma che mi giova, oh dio! Piangere e sospirar, se ingrato l'idol mio non cura il mio penar? Ah se crudele in seno non ha pietà per me, un fulmine, un veleno ditemi almen dov'è.
