Speranza mi dice

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Available translation(s): ENG

Speranza mi dice,
che questa mia mano
vendetta farà.
Il cor mi predice,
che rege inumano
svenato cadrà.
Speranza mi dice.

Mi dice il pensiero,
che l'empio regnante
esangue sarà.
Che rege severo
trafitto, e spirante
quest'alma vedrà.
Speranza mi dice.
