Quel ‘no’ crudel che la mia speme ancise
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): GER
Quel ‘no’ crudel che la mia speme ancise Ecco che pur trafitto Da mille baci di mia bocca ultrice, Qual fiera serpe in mezzo ai fiori essangue, Tra quelle belle labbra a morte langue. O vittoria felice! In quel vago rossor Gli amanti scritto leggan: „Di quel bel volto ha vinto Amore.“ Amor vince ogni core.
