Chi sei tu che mi parli ove non s'ode (Annunzio, set by F. Tosti) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Chi sei tu che mi parli ove non s'ode
respiro di viventi, oh! chi sei tu?
Perché, invisibil démone custode,
t'ho sempre al fianco, e non mi lasci più?

Perché una cupa, inesorata, immane
malinconia su 'l mio cervel piombò?
Perché più nulla, ahi! nulla, mi rimane
del divin sogno che il mio cor sognò?
