Basta così, v'ho inteso. Ma voi non ci sete Che dentro la rete Non voglio esser preso. Basta così, v'ho inteso. Non vo' che trabocchi La mia libertà, Da' vostri begl'occhi Limosinar non vo' la carità. Se l'alma è disciolta, Tacete una volta. Amor, so che cos'è: È bello, è buono, Ma pur non fa per me, Che da' suoi dardi esser non voglio offeso. Basta così, v'ho inteso.

Cela suffit comme ça, je comprends. Mais vous ne l'aurez pas, Car dans les filets Je ne veux pas être pris. Cela suffit comme ça, je comprends. Je ne veux pas que trébuche Ma liberté. De vos beaux yeux, Je ne veux pas quémander la charité. Si l'âme est dissoute, Taisez-vous pour une fois. L'amour, je sais ce que c'est : C'est beau, c'est bon, Mais ce n'est pas pour moi, Car je ne veux pas être atteint pas ses dards. Cela suffit comme ça, je comprends.
