by Francesco Jannetti (c1815 - 1855)

La fidanzata
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Choose for Diff
Un cestel di fiori eletto
preparatemi, o pastor,
che adornare al mio diletto
vo' la fronte di quei fior.
Ma la rosa insiem col giglio
colla mammola nò non vo',
troppo o Dio recar periglio
il leggiadro fior gli può.
Lalala ...

Della rosa porporina
mentre alletta il vago odor
improvisa vien la spina
a piombarne nel dolor.
Del mio vago al crin d'intorno
non languiscano quei fior,
ma sian belli al par del giorno
in cui nacque il nostro amor.
Lalala ...
