Montanina
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Scende al pian la montanina, va pel ciel la sua canzon, l'ombra incontro le cammina, piange il vento pei burron. Ella vien cantando il riso, le dolcezze dell'amor, e miseria mostra in viso, mostra l'improbo lavor! Mai per lei, o sole, un'ora non avesti di piacer, l'ombra nera la divora, tace triste sul sentier . . .
