Se ridete gioiose
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Se ridete gioiose, Dolci labbra amorose, Non sa mostrarne Amore Pregio d'amor maggiore In alcun nobil viso, Che il vostro bel sorriso; E pur ne mostra Amore Pregio d'amor maggiore Nel vostro nobil viso, Col lampeggiar d'un riso, Se ridono gioiosi Gli occhi vostri amorosi.
