(Francesco Cilea - ADRIANA LECOUVREUR)



La dolcissima effigie sorridente

in te rivedo della madre cara;

nel tuo cor

della mia patria, dolce preclara

l'aura ribevo,

che m'aprì la mente.

Bella tu sei, come la mia bandiera,

della pugne fiammante entro i vapor;

tu sei gioconda, come la chimera

della Gloria promessa al vincitor.

Bella tu sei, tu sei gioconda.
