O bimba, bimbetta
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG
O bimba, bimbetta, canta la cicala, danzi tu gaietta ne la gran sala. Ed io a te ricanto, a te tutta graziosa, mentre il tuo lieve manto s’apre come rosa. Ti voglio tanto bene e tu neppur lo sai, tu ridi a le mie pene e poi danzando vai. Tu non mi dici nulla di ciò che in cor t’arride, e il labbro tuo, fanciulla, a me non sorride. Ardentemente io canto, o dolce bimba mia! Io t’amo tanto tanto, più della vita mia!
