Quando dentro al tuo seno
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Quando dentro il tuo seno
Vibra amoroso sguardo
Il primo aurato dardo
Oh che gioir,
Ma quando di veleno
Arma le punte acute,
e ti nega salute,
Oh, che languir.

Quando quel vago riso
mira con dolci rai
i tuoi pianti, i tuoi guai
oh che gioir
ma quando in altri fiso
gir il tuo mal in canto
prende a riso il tuo pianto
oh che languir.
 
Quando donna onorata
senti ch'ai tuoi sospiri
pietosa risospiri
oh che gioir
ma quando finge ingrata
non udir i lamenti
non veder i tormenti
oh che languir.
