Contrasto
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Our translations: ENG
Piange lenta la luna su rugiade gemmanti... Or lieto all'aria bruna sia l'oblio de li amanti però che dolce è il riso tra il pianto de le cose! Ben la luna compose a mestizia il viso. O amica, a quando a quando giova l'oblio: scordare le altrui doglianze amare. Intorno andar cantando, mentre piange la luna.
