Miei pensieri che bramate Non mi state più a stordire Le bellezze ch'adorate Non vi vogliono aggradire Se goder voi non sperate Miei pensieri che bramate. Miei capricci homai cessate Di seguir chi vi dà pene Quelle luci dispietate Mai per voi non sian serene Se in amor voi delirate Miei capricci homai cessate. Mie speranze v'ingannate Quel ben sen non è per voi Altre labra venturate Godon hora i pomi suoi Troppo, ah troppo vaneggiate Mie speranze v'ingannate.

Mes pensées, pour quoi soupirez-vous ? Ne m'étourdissez plus. Les beautés que vous adorez Ne veulent plus vous plaire. Si vous n'espérez pas vous réjouir, Mes pensées, pour quoi soupirez-vous ? Mes caprices, arrêtez maintenant De suivre celui qui vous donne de la peine : Ces yeux sans pitié Ne seront jamais sereins pour vous. Si vous délirez avec l'amour, Mes caprices, arrêtez maintenant ! Mes espoirs, vous êtes abusés ! Ce beau sein n'est pas pour vous : D'autres lèvres chanceuses Jouissent maintenant de ses fruits. C'est trop, ah, c'est trop, vous délirez ! Mes espoirs, vous êtes abusés !
