Has anyone got the words in Italian of this song please? I can't find it on any of the usual lyric sites though maybe a Mudcatter will know where to find it. Thanks in anticipation..Sue

Come col capo sotto l'ala bianca
dormen le palombelle innamerate.
Cosi tu adagi la persona stanca
Sotto le coltri molli e ricamate
La testa bionda sul guancial riposa
Lieta de'sogni suoi color di rosa
E tra le larve care al tuo sorriso
Una ne passa che ti sfiora il viso

Pass e ti dice che bruciar le vene,
Che sanguinare il cor per ti me senta
Passa e ti dice che ti voglia bene,
Che sei la mia dolcessa e il mio tormento.
Dianc tra un nimbo di capelli biondi
Dormi e sorridi ai sogni tuoi giocondi…
ah, non destarti, o fior del Paradiso,
Ch'io vengo in sogno ver baciarti in viso!

Many thanks MMario, this is just what I wanted! I had looked at the Mascagni site some time ago and not found the text for this song. I am very grateful for your help....a true gentleman Mudcatter! It seems to be quite difficult to find the words of some well-known Italian songs .....is this a special talent of yours?? Thanks again anyway......Sue

just part of our friendly mudcat service - it took me 23 minutes to answer - far far below the 1 minute record.

I *wish* Italian were my speciality! Being second generation Italian American with a parent who grew up in the "bi-lingual =second class citizen" era - never learned any!
