Se vuoi vedere il tuo servo morire
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Se vuoi vedere il tuo servo morire, Testi capelli non te li arricciare, Giú per le spalle lasciali ire, Che paion fila d'oro naturale. Paiono fila d'oro, oro in filato, Son belli li capelli, e chi l'ha in capo. Paiono fila d'oro, e seta fina: Son belli li capelli, e chi li striga.
