Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  ENG
Ier l'ho scontrata in abito di festa,
Che la parea venir dal Paradiso;
Un cappellino rosa aveva in testa,
Un bianco vel sul viso.

In bianco vel, sotto un cappello rosa
Non vidi al mondo mai più bella cosa.

Ella sembrava quasi la Madonna
Che sta dipinta in Chiesa a la mia pieve;
Era vestita d'una bianca gonna
Fulgida come neve.

In cappellino, in velo ed in gonnella,
Non vidi al mondo mai cosa più bella.
