Allegro io sono,
come un fringuel,
che spiega il volo,
libero al ciel!
Sorride a me
lieta stagion,
torno garzon!
Vedovo io son!
Tra la, tra la, tra la, tra la!
Per molti sposi
è una cuccagna
aver in cielo
la lor compagna!

Io non le pago
il funeral,
e non istò
perciò più mal!
È il caso mio
più original!
Sirena, o Dea,
non han virtù
Ne' lacci loro
pigliarmi più!
Se l'amo un dì
giunse a schivar,
il pesciolino
è il re del mar!
Allegro io son
come un fringuel,
torno garzon!
Tra la, tra la, tra la, tra la!
