Giacinti, e violete
Fa in tera baossete
Baosète:
Che gusto! che giubilo!
L'inverno è scampà.
La Neve è svania,
La brina è finia,
Xe tepida l'aria,
El sol chiapa fià.
...
Amici, fa ciera
Xe qua primavera:
Me 'l dise quel nuvolo...
Sentì! sentì el ton!
Ohimè! che sta idea
El cuor me ricrea,
E tuto desmentego
Quel fredo baron.
Ancora un meseto,
E el russignoleto
Col canto ne sgiozzolo
Su l'anima el miel.
Stagion deliziosa!
Ti vien co la rosa,
Ti parti col giglio,
Fior degno del ciel.

Jacintos y violetas
Hacer en la tierra tonterías.
Qué gusto! Qué júbilo!;
El invierno se desvanece.
La nieve se derrite,
La escarcha ha acabado,
Está tibio el aire,
El sol gana fuerza.
