Per un bacio
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  FRE
Per un bacio che rubbai 
Dalle labra del mio bene, 
In prigion di mille guai 
Rinserrato Amor mi tiene. 
Al Giudice fiero 
Ch'udendo ci stà, 
La mia sdegnosetta 
Dimanda vendetta; 
Io chiedo pietà. 
Ma sono intese, oh Dio, 
Le sue querelle e non il pianto mio.
Ben lo so ch’a suo riguardo 
Mi fara morire al fine, 
O col foco d’un bel guardo, 
O col laccio d’un bel crine. 
Ma s’egli lo vole, 
Finir anch’io vò 
La vita el tormento, 
E lieto e contento 
A morte n’andrò. 
Pur che mi lasci ancora 
Render ciò che rubbai prima che mora.
