Semplicetta tortorella
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Our translations: ENG ENG
Semplicetta tortorella,
Che non vede il suo periglio,
Per fuggir da crudo artiglio,
Vola in grembo al cacciator.
Voglio anch'io fuggir
La pena d'un amor fin or taciuto
E m'espongo d'un rifiuto,
All' oltraggio ed al rossor.

Oh simple little dove
Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)
Oh simple little dove,
who does not see its danger,
To flee the cruel snare,
fly to the hunter’s lap.
I too want to escape
the pain of love subtle or silent
and expose myself to rejection,
To outrage and shame.
