Perché chinati gli occhi
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Perché chinati gli occhi Hai sempre innanzi a me? Poco amor, Poco ardor Per me, bella tu senti nel cor. Innalza gli occhi al cielo, Lieta verderti io vo', E l'ardor E l'amor Io vo' leggere nel tuo cor. Ma forse del tuo gelo Un dì trionferò, Tanto ardor, Tanto amor M'hai tu acceso, fanciulla, nel cor.
