Mamma, mamma, lasciami andare
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Mamma, mamma, lasciami andare, Là nella chiesa del buon Signore. Colla bocca potrò pregare Mentre cogli occhi farò l'amore. Mamma, mamma, fo' la preghiera, Tu non lo credi, con tanto ardore. Prego il cielo mattina e sera Che dell'amante mi serbi il core.
