Chi il bel sogno di Doretta
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Chi il bel sogno di Doretta Potè indovinar? Il suo mister come mai Come mai fini Ahimè! un giorno uno studente In bocca la baciò E fu quel bacio Rivelazione: Fu la passione! Folle amore! Folle ebbrezza! Chi la sottil carezza D'un bacio così ardente Mai ridir potrà? Ah! mio sogno! Ah! mia vita! Che importa la ricchezza Se alfine è rifiorita La felicità! O sogno d'or Poter amar così!
