Oh! se tu fossi meco
Language:
Italian
Oh! se tu fossi meco
Sulla barchetta bruna,
Che al raggio della luna
Vedi pel mar fuggir!
Oh! se tu fossi meco
Ti rapirei, mio bene,
Alle infelici arene
Dove dobbiam languir.
Soli, [sull'ampio]1 seno
Dell'oceàn [gemente]2,
Soli, del ciel tacente
Sotto l'immenso vel.
Libero pianto almeno
Sparger potremmo [lamenti]3,
Lamenti non traditi
Da testimon crudel.
E in rammentar gli orrori
Di questa vita oscura,
La tua, la mia sventura
Ed il commun soffrir;
Stancati vïatori,
Noi chiederemmo al mare
O porto per posare,
O abisso per morir.
