by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840 - 1893)

Pimpinella
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  FRE
Non contrastar cogl' uomini,
fallo per carita.
Non sono tutti gli uomini
della mia qualita!

Io ti voglio bene assai, Pimpinella,
quanto per te penai solo il cuor lo sa,
io ti voglio bene assai, Pimpinella,
quanto per te penai solo il cuor lo sa!

Ti pregoi dì di festa, Pimpinella,
non ti vestir sonfusa,
non ti mostrar chiassosa, Pimpinella,
se vuoi portarmi amor!

Dalla tua stessa bocca, Pimpinella,
attendo la risposta,
non fa soffrir, o bella Pimpinella,
e non mi dir di no!

Io ti voglio bene assai, Pimpinella,
quanto per te penai solo il cuor lo sa,
io ti voglio bene assai, Pimpinella,
quanto per te penai solo il cuor lo sa!

Ora che siamo soli, Pimpinella,
vorrei svelare il mio cuore,
languisco per amore, Pimpinella,
solo il mio cuore lo sa!

Io ti voglio bene assai, Pimpinella,
quanto per te penai solo il cuor lo sa,
io ti voglio bene assai, Pimpinella,
quanto per te penai solo il cuor lo sa!
