Il Trovatore
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG
Chi m'ascolta il canto usato Lieto sciogliere talor Crederà ch'io sia beato, Che a miei voti arrida amor. Non è ver! Cerco col canto Di sfogar il mio martir. Vo celando ad altri il pianto, Interrompo il mio martir. Canto amor perché colei Che così mi fa penar Del mio duol, de' mali miei Mai non s'abbia a rallegrar. E così scemando il foco Che racchiudo nel mio sen, Vo’ veder se a poco a poco Con me barbaro sia amor.
