Tu vai dicendo ch'io non son regina
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Tu vai dicendo ch'io non son regina: Né anche tu se' figliol del re di Spagna. Bello, quando ti levi la mattina, Le tue carrozze non vanno in campagna. Tu vieni a minchionar la mia bassezza. La povertà non guasta gentilezza. Tu vieni a minchionar l'esser mio: Poi va' per terra te, come vo' io.
