Cara e dolce dolce
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG
Cara e dolce dolce, Dolcissima libertà, Quanto ti piange il core. Fra i lacci d'un crin d'oro Prova d'un ciglio arcier la crudeltà. Le dure ritorte, Che rigida sorte Mi dà per mercé Mi stringono i pié E al mio lungo penar negan pietà.
