Dolcissimo sospiro
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): FRE
Dolcissimo sospiro Ch'esci da quella bocca Ove d'amor ogni dolcezza fiocca; Deh, vieni a raddolcire L'amaro mio dolore. Ecco, ch'io t'apro il core, Ma, folle, a chi ridico il mio martire? Ad'un sospiro errante Che forse vola in sen ad altro amante.
