by Arturo Birga (1871 - 1959)

Venitelo a vedere 'l mi' piccino
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  ENG
Venitelo a vedere 'l mi' piccino
Or che nella culla è addormentato:
Venitelo a veder com'è carino,
Pare un angiol di Dio dal ciel calato!...
Angioletti del ciel, venite in coro,
A sorridere al dolce mi' tesoro.
Venite... Zitto! Ha mosso 'l labbro al riso...
Sognando, ora è con voi, su 'n Paradiso!
