Donna, vorrei morir (Guerrini, set by F. Tosti) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Donna, vorrei morir, ma confortato
Dall'onesto tuo amor;
Sentirmi almeno una sol volta amato
Senza averne rossor.
Vorrei poterti dar quel po' che resta
Della mia gioventù;
Sovra l'omero tuo piegar la testa
E non destarmi più.
