Bella bimba
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Com' è bella la mia bimba
quando parla quando ride!
quando meco ella divide
i sospiri del suo cor!
bella bimba! 
tu sei un angelo d'amor!

T'ho promesso un mantesino
Bianco verde, porporino,
Tel farò, se tu mi doni
Un sospiro del tuo cuor!
Bella bimba, bella bimba
Sei un angiolo d' amor..

Quando sorge il nuovo sole
Vieni adirmi due parole...
Quanta gioja in sen mi desta
Il saluto del tuo cuor!
Bella bimba, bella bimba
Sei un angiolo d' amor!
M'hai promesso un fazzoletto
Ch' hai portato sopra il petto...
Questo dono lo sospiro
Perche dono del tuo cuor.
Bella bimba, bella bimb;»
Sei un angiolo d'amor!

Questo giglio innamorato.
Bimba mia,chi te l'ha dato?
Ho capito, tel donava
L'innocenza del tuo cor;
Bella bimba, bella bimba
Sei un angiolo d'amor.
Quando il sole poi declina
Torna a me, dolce bambina,
La mestizia, che m'assale 
Ha bisogno del tuo cuor!
Bella bimba, bella bimba
Sei un angiolo d'amor!
