Una lagrima (Preghiera)
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Our translations: ENG
Dio, dio, che col cenno moderi l'ira d'un mar che freme Dio! Che col cenno agli uomini porgi costanza e speme, stendi la man benefica, sul lungo mio dolor. Non chieggo a te la tenera gioja del cor felice non la speranza provvida d'affanno incantatrice, ti chieggo sol la lagrima, che scioglie il gelo al cor.
