by Arrigo Enrico Boito (1842 - 1918), as Tobia Gorrio

Voce di donna o d'angelo
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  ENG
La Cieca
liberata da Laura che l'allontana dagli Sgherri
 Voce di donna o d'angelo
 le mie catene ha sciolto;
 mi vietan le mie tenebre
 di quella santa il volto,
 pure da me non partasi
 senza un pietoso don!
 A te questo rosario
 che le preghiere aduna;
 io te lo porgo, accettalo,
 ti porterà fortuna;
 sulla tua testa vigili
 la mia benedizion.
