Benvenuto, bel giovinetto! Tu, delizia della natura! Col tuo panierino di fiori, benvenuto sul prato! Eccoti, sei tornato! E sei così caro e bello! Siamo felici di correrti incontro. Ti ricordi della mia ragazza? O caro, pensaci! Là mi amava, la ragazza, e questa ragazza mi ama ancora! Per lei ti chiesi tanti fiori, e vengo a chiedertene ancora, e tu? Tu me li offri. Benvenuto, bel giovinetto! Tu, delizia della natura! Col tuo panierino di fiori, benvenuto sul prato!
