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.

Di pianti di pene
Ognor non si pasce,
Talvolta poi nasce
Il ben dal dolor:

E quando si crede
Più grave il periglio,
Brillare si vede
La calma maggior.

Σκίρτημα χαράς
Language: Greek (Ελληνικά)  after the Italian (Italiano) 
Σκιρτά ευτυχία
Βαθιά στην καρδία,
Χαράς αγγελία,
Κι οι φόβοι ας πνιγούν.
 
Ευχάριστο τέλος,
Στις έγνοιες προσμένω,
Η μοίρα κι ο έρως
Μην μας τυραννούν.
