La passeggiata (Anonymous, set by G. Rossini) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Finché sereno è il cielo, 
limpida e cheta l'onda, 
voghiam di sponda in sponda, 
amor ne guidera. 

Al flutto, all'aura, ai fiori, 
noi parlerem d'amor 
e il palpito del core, 
per lor risponderà. 

Ma ciel! gia fischia il vento, 
s'increspa la laguna, 
fischia il vento, presto!  
rapidi il pie' moviam. 

Ah! no, la luna appare, 
vano timor fu solo,
in si ridente suolo
cantiamo, sì cantiam.
