by Ottavio Rinuccini (1562 - 1621)
Torna, deh torna
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Torna, deh torna pargoletto mio, Torna, che senza te son senza core! Dove t'ascondi, ohimè? che t'ho fatt' io, Ch'io non ti veggio e non ti sento, Amore? Corrimi in braccio omai, spargi d'oblio Questo, che 'l cuor mi strugge, aspro dolore. Senti de la mia voce il flebil suono Tra' pianti e tra' sospir' chieder perdono.
