by Giovanni Battista Lorenzi (1721 - 1807)

Sempre in festa, sempre in gioco
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Chosen for Diff
(con espressione ad Ippolito)
Sempre in festa, sempre in gioco  
noi staremo, idolo amato.
(sottovoce al suddetto)
Or che parlo, vedi un poco
mio marito cosa fa:
non fa nulla?
(prendendo per il petto il marito)
Vien qua...
Tu sei uomo o sei cavallo?
Parla, di', rispondi a me.
Le finezze non son buone,
coll'ingiurie non si arriva,
non si arriva col bastone,
questa tua è malattia,
è malìa... che cos'è?
Ah che il pianto mi soffoca,
riflettendo al caso mio...
Fosse qui quella bizzoca
che mi fece unir con te!
