Romanza
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Dimmi perché sí languido Mi volgi il guardo, o bella? Dimmi perché una stella Guardi piangendo ognor? Forse quel raggio tremulo Rammenta a te la sera Che mi dicevi: «Spera, Spera pe'l nostro amor!» Non rammentar quel brivido Che ci sentimmo in petto Quando, con tanto affetto, La mia tua man serrò, Non rammentarlo: il turbine Passò sul caro fiore E l'estasi d'amore Tutta in dolor cangiò.
