L'alito di Bice
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG
O profumo delicato, che ti spandi in ogni via, d'onde vieni, chi t'invia, solo posso indovinar. V'ha chi pensa nel gustarti che di vaghi e eletti fiori su cui posano gli amori vieni il mondo a consolar! Soavissimo profumo, io t'ho solo indovinato, sei di Bice il caro fiato che in dolcezza ugual non ha!
