Chosen for Diff
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.
N. Vaccaj sets stanza 1

Oh simple little dove
Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)
Chosen for Diff
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.
