Chi vive amante sai che delira
 (Sung text for setting by G. Händel)
 Matches base text
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Chi vive amante sai che delira,
spesso si lagna, sempre sospira
né d'altro parla che di morir.
 
Io non m'affanno, non mi querelo,
giammai tiranno non chiamo il cielo,
dunque il mio core d'amor non pena
o pur l'amore non è martir.
