Io mi distruggo
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Io mi distruggo, ed ardo Né trovo al mio dolor conforto, e pace, Ch’un sol pietoso sguardo Temprar non può d’Amore l’ardente face, Né sfogar posso in pianto in dolor mio, Come viver poss’io? Occhi, deh per pietà, mentre splendete E dolci saettendo il cor’ m’ardete Toglietemi la vita Ch’io vò morir se non mi date aita.
