Please correct the title by changing the term "commisa" (mispell, no meaning) into "cammisa" (meaning: "shirt")

Thanks Tom for the correction to the term: "Cammisa" into the title. I also apologize for the fact that I just saw the word cammisa and I did not notice before one more mispell. It is on the term: "ch'ai". The correct one is "c' hai" (short form for "che hai", meaning "who/which have") So the whole literal meaning of the title is: "Oh Lola, (you) who/which have the (your) shirt "milky"" Where the meaning of the term "milky" (di latti) is still not 100% clear (somebody thinks it does not just refer to the white color of the shirt)

Yes, a great aria and song by Caruso with the greatest empathy. One really feels the essence of the aria.
