Sogno

Francesco Paolo Tosti / Lorenzo Stecchetti Ho sognato che stavia ginocchi Come un santo che prega il Signor, Mi guardavi nel fondo degl Sfavillava il tuo sguardo d`amor. Tu parlavi e la voce sommessa Mi chiedea dolcemente merc Solo un guardo che fosse promessa Imploravi curvato al mio pi Io traceva e coll'anima forte Il desio tentatore lott Ho provato il martirio e la morte, Pur me vinsi e ti dissi di no. Ma il tuo labbro sfior E la forza del cor mi trad Chiusi gli occhi, ti stesi le braccia, Ma sognavo e il bel sogno svan Dream I have dreamed of you on your knees Like a saint who prays to the Lord, You gazed at me and in your eyes. Sparkled your glance of love. You spoke and your low voice... Asked me sweetly for mercy, Only a glance that is promised... Did you implore bended at my foot. I was silent and with my strong soul I struggled for the attempted desire, I have felt martyrdom and death, Yet me you conquered and said no. But your lips touched my face... And the force of your heart betrayed me. You closed your eyes, you stretched your arms, But I was dreaming and the beautiful dream vanished!
