from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Dov' è la voce mia ch' era si bella?
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Dov' è la voce mia ch' era si bella?
Dov' è la voce mia ch'era si alta?
Era sentita da tutta la terra, 
Era ascoltata [da una]1 villa all' altra:
[E da una]2 villa [a l' altra]3 era [sentita]4;
Dov' è la voce mia, dove l' è ita?
