by Giuseppe Zaffira (flourished 1868-1886)
Ella è malata, ella s'è messa in letto
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG
Ella è malata, ella s'è messa in letto La povera Biondina! E son d'avviso Che Dio la voglia fare un Angioletto Del Paradiso. Oh! Madonnina! Il Ciel n'ha pu già tante Anime elette! Lasciami costei! E se non lice, fammi sull'istante Morir con lei! Come colombe al tuo santo appello Noi volerem chiamati dal desio; La tomba è forse il talamo più bello Dato da Dio!
