Composed by: Giovanni Paisiello
Italian text
Nel cor piu non mi sento
Brillar la gioventu
cagion del mio tormento
amor sei colpa tu
Mi pizzichi, mi stuzzichi
mi pungichi, mi mastichi
che cosa e questo ahime
pieta, pieta, pieta
amore e un certo che
che disperar mi fa.
 English translation
Why feels my heart so dormant
No fire of youth divine?
Thou cause of all my torment
O Love, the fault is thine!
He teases me, he pinches me
He squeezes me, he wrenches me
What tortures I must bear!
Have done, Have done, Have done!
Thou, Love, art surely one
Will drive me to despair! |
