by Giovanni Battista Guarini (1538 - 1612)
T'amo, mia vita
Language: Italian (Italiano)
T'amo, mia vita» la mia cara vita dolcemente mi dice, e 'n questa sola sí soave parola par che trasformi lietamente il core, per farmene signore. O voce di dolcezza, e di diletto! Prendila tosto, Amore; stampala nel mio petto. Spiri solo per lei l'anima mia; T'amo, mia vita» la mia vita sia.
