canta per me
Noir Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Canta per me ne addio
Quel dolce suono
De' passati giorni
Mi sempre rammenta

La vita dell'amore
Dilette del cor mio
O felice, tu anima mia
Canta addagio...

Tempra la cetra e canta
Il inno di morte
A noi si schiude il ciel
Volano al raggio

La vita dell'amore
Dilette del cor mio




O felice, tu anima mia
Canta addio...
