by Salvatore Auteri-Manzocchi (1845 - 1924)

Avessi l'ali!
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Oh! avessi l'ali anch'io, vorrei volare
Là dove volti son gli affetti miei
Tanta terra varcando e tanto mare,
Là mi vorrei posar dove tu sei.
Ma a te nin giunge il voto del cor mio.

Mi fermerei là presso al tuo balcone,
Dove apparir ti vidi il primo dì,
Che il mesto accento della mia canzone
Soavemente l'alma tua ferì.
Ma a te nin giunge il voto del cor mio.

Darei la vita mille volte e mille,
Sol per udirti dir che m'ami ancor,
Per riveder l'azzurre tue pupille,
Per ribaciare i tuoi capelli d'or.
Ma a te nin giunge il voto del cor mio.
