Vedrò'l mio sol
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Our translations: ENG
Vedrò'l mio sol, vedrò prima ch'io muoia Quel sospirato giorno Che faccia'l vostro raggio à me ritorno. O mia luce, o mia gioia, Ben più m'è dolc'il tormentar per vui Che'l gioir per altrui. Ma senza morte io non potrò soffrire Un sì lungo martire; E s'io morrò, morrà mia speme ancora Di veder mai d'un sì bel dì l'aurora.
