Potessi diventare un uccellino!
Avessi l' ale e potessi volare! --
Vorrei volare in mezzo al bel giardino
Dove sta lo mio amore a lavorare.
E gli vorrei volare intorno intorno,
E ci vorrei restar la notte e il giorno.

Si je pouvais être un oiseau !
J'aurais des ailes et je pourrais voler !

Et je voudrais y rester la nuit et le jour.
