La tua stella
Song · “Your star” · 1881
Song Synopsis
Child, when you look up at your star, I watch you with gentle love. The star shines and your beautiful face radiates the same splendour. I wonder if it is the starlight that makes you seem to shine like this, or is it your beautiful face that lights up the star?
