Soul of my heart

Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)

Soul of my heart,
Spirit of my soul,
Always contantly will I adore you!
I will be contented
In my torment
If only I could kiss that beautiful lip.


Sweet is my life,
Heart of my breast,
Always this soul will I adore.
To your splendor
This my heart
Clizia faithful will go around.
