by Pierre Leca (1879 - 1951)

Sérénade‑complainte
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Perchè bella è fresca veni 
Quandi u sole ciotta in mare
Quandu colla da li feni 
Caldi odori è canti rari,
Nude e braccie è in pettu un fiore
À guardati, lu me amore
Diventa puru è chjaru cum’è u celu
Eju ti guardu tremi allora
Cum’è a spiga in cor d’aprile
More u ghjornu è sona l’ora
Di u rusàriu à u campanile
Piatta hè a luna appettu à u monte
E nostre ànime surelle
Ad amà forse sò pronte
Ma stai zitta ed eju mi chetu
L’ombra copre la to fronte 
È si piatta u nostru affettu
Cum’è a luna appettu à u monte.
