Un moto di gioia
Mi sento nel petto,
Che annunzia diletto
In mezzo il timor!

Speriam che in contento
Finisca l'affanno
Non sempre è tiranno
Il fato ed amor.

Language: Greek (Ελληνικά)  after the Italian (Italiano) 
Στο στήθος σκιρτάει
Η τύχη και νιώθω,
Ενάντια στο φόβο,
Χαρά προμηνά(ει).

Με αίσιο τέλος,
Οι έγνοιες ας μείνουν,
Τυράννοι μην γίνουν
Αγάπη, γραφτό. / Έρως, ριζικό.
