by Giovanni Boccaccio (1313 - 1375)
Ma come potrei
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Ma come potrei io mai soffrire Di partirmida te che t'amo pur tanto, Che senza te mi par ognor morire? Essendo teco non so giammai quanto Più ben mi possa avere, o più disire. Ma sallo bene Amore in quanto pianto Istà la vita mia la notte e 'l giorno, Mentre non veggo questo viso adorno.
