Ti voglio amar, se la terra tremasse,
ti voglio amar, se il ciel venisse a terra,
ti voglio amar, se tu m'abbandonasse,
se tu m'abbandondonassi,
se gli occhi miei e' tuoi facesser guerra
e gli occhi miei e' tuoi guerra faranno.
Ti voglio amar, se contenti saranno.

Confirmed with Canti popolari Toscani, raccolti e annotati da Giuseppe Tigri, Firenze, 1856.

Note for line 3, word 6: the original text has "m'abbandonasse", which is not grammatically correct but is an "idiotismo fiorentino" (Florentine idiom)

Note for Viardot-García's setting: when line 7 is repeated, the altered words "contenta sarai" revert to the original "contenti saranno".
