Un verde praticello senza piante
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Un verde praticello senza piante È l'immagine vera del mio amante. Un mandorlo fiorito all'acqua in riva È dell'amante mio l'immagin viva. Tutti i raggi del sole e delle stelle Sono l'immagin di sue luci belle. Il dolce olezzo di giovane fiore È l'immagine vera del mio amore. Amante, amante, Amore, amore, amore,! O vieni avaccio a ristorarmi il core!

Mein Liebster gleicht den sanften grünen Matten
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Italian (Italiano)
Mein Liebster gleicht den sanften grünen Matten, Von goldnen Sonnenstrahlen scheinend übergossen. Mein liebster gleicht den blütenvollen Zweigen, Die wiegend in den Wellen wieder scheinen. Schöner als die Sonne, als die Sterne Sind seiner dunklen Augen liebesblicke. Und meine Liebe gleicht der zarten Blüte, Die sich dem Sonnenlicht erschliesset. O liebster, o Liebster, o Liebe, o Liebe, o Liebe! O komm Geliebter, Sonne meines Herzens!
