S'io vivo, anima mia
Language: Italian (Italiano)
S'io vivo, anima mia, vivo per voi E se languisco e moro Mi fate voi morire, Mi fate voi languire, E languendo e morendo ancor v'adoro. Ma se di voi si bell' e si vitale Vien' effetto mortale, Ah! cruda è vostra colpa, o pur mia sorte Che siate vita e volet' esser morte.
