Bella porta di rubini (Donini, set by A. Falconieri, O. Respighi) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Bella porta di rubini
Ch'apri il varco ai dolci accenti,
Se nei risi peregrini
Scopri perle rilucenti,
Tu d'amor dolce aura spiri,
Refrigerio a miei martiri.

Vezzosetta e fresca rosa,
Umidetto e dolce labbro,
Ch'hai la manna rugiadosa
Sul bellissimo cinabro,
Non parlar ma ridi e taci:
Sien gli accenti i nostri baci.
