by Leonardo Maria Cognetti

Vorrei morire
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Vorrei morir ne la stagion dell'anno,
Quando `e tiepida l'aria e il ciel sereno,
Quando le rondinelle il nido fanno,
Quando di nuovi fior s'orna il terreno;
Vorrei morir, vorrei morir quando tramonta il sole,
Quando sul prato dormon le viole,
Lieta farebbe a Dio l'alma ritorno
A primavera e sul morir del giorno.
Vorrei morir, vorrei morir,
Lieta farebbe a Dio l'alma ritorno
A primavera e sul morir del giorno.
Ma quando infuria il nembo e la tempesta,
Allor che l'aria si fa scura scura:
Quando ai rami un foglia pi`u non resta,
Allora di morire avrei paura.
