by Gottardo Aldighieri (1824 - 1906)

Il bacio
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  ENG GER
Sulle labbra se potessi
dolce un bacio ti darei.
Tutte ti direi le dolcezze dell'amor.
Sempre assisa te d'appresso,
mille gaudii ti direi, Ah! ti direi.
Ed i palpiti udirei
che rispondono al mio cor.
Gemme e perle non desio,
non son vaga d'altro affetto.
Un tuo sguardo è il mio diletto,
un tuo bacio è il mio tesor.
Ah! Vieni! ah vien! più non tardare a me!
Ah vien! nell'ebbrezza d'un amplesso
ch'io viva!
Ah!
