Amarilli
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Amarilli, s'io te miro, miro il sol degli occhi miei: tanto bella e vaga sei ch'io per altra non sospiro. Se tu ridi, il dolce riso m'apre il ciel di primavera: o sei cruda o lusinghiera, sempre ho innanzi il tuo bel viso. Se tu parli ed io ti sento, sento un'aura in mezzo aprile, si soave, si gentile, ch fa dolce il mio tormento.
