Scherzo
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Our translations: ENG
Una notte, al davanzale, Ero sola, o pur non ero? Ben mi parve un soffio d'ale Che giungesse dal sentiero Chi la guancia mi sfiorò? Se fu un bacio io non lo so. Fu la tenda, è ver, rammento, Che la guancia mi percosse: La carezza fu del vento, Pur vorrei che non lo fosse... Più ci penso e più rammento Che fu un bacio e non il vento!
