O mio bene
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
O mio bene, o mia vita,
non mi far più languire.
Non mi negar aita,
ch'io mi sento morire.
Non più guerra d'amore,
no, no, mio core.

O begli occhi, o bei rai,
non più, non più penare,
non mi date più guai,
ch'io mi sento mancare.
Non più guerra di pene,
no, no, mio bene.

O mio core, o mia face,
non m'esser più crudele,
non mi negar più pace,
perché io ti son fedele.
Non più guerra di noia,
no, no, mia gioia.
