Mia sposa sarà la mia bandiera
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  ENG
M’hanno detto che Beppe va soldato
e che v’han visto pianger di nascosto.
Ah! Far pianger si begli occhi è gran peccato;
Beppe non partirà; prendo il suo posto.
Niun piangerà per me...vi ricordate 
la sera della festa l’altra estate? 
Parlarvi osai d’amor, rideste tanto
Che dall’affanno di nascosto ho pianto.
 
Piansi e giurai di nulla in terra amare 
fuori che voi; mantengo il giuramento.
Ah! Se un dolor da voi posso scansare,
questo è dell’amor mio premio e contento. 
Beppe vi ondurrà presto all’altare,
io lieto me ne vado al reggimento;
siate compagna sua dolce e sincera,
e mia sposa sarà la mia bandiera.
